This paper presents a novel approach for structural damage detection and estimation using incomplete noisy modal data and artificial neural network (ANN). A feed-forward back propagation network is proposed for estimating the structural damage location and severity. Incomplete modal data is used in the dynamic analysis of damaged structures by the condensed finite element model and as input parameters to the neural network for damage identification. In all cases, the first two natural modes were used for the training process. The present method is applied to three examples consisting of a simply supported beam, three-story plane frame, and spring-mass system. Also, the effect of the discrepancy in mass and stiffness between the finite element model and the actual tested dynamic system has been investigated. The results demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method using incomplete modal data, which may be noisy or noise-free.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) telah digunakan dengan meluas bagi tujuan mengesan kerosakan dalam struktur menggunakan data–data mod dari gegaran. Walau bagaimanapun, ketidakpastian yang wujud dalam model unsur terhingga dan data dari lapangan yang tidak dapat dielakkan boleh menyebabkan kesilapan dalam meramalkan magnitud dan lokasi kerosakan. Dalam kajian ini kaedah statistik digunakan untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. ANN digunakan untuk meramalkan parameter–parameter kekukuhan dari frekuensi dan mod bentuk bagi sesebuah struktur. Untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam ramalan, kaedah statistik digunakan di mana kaedah Rossenblueth point estimation diperbandingkan dengan kaedah Monte Carlo diaplikasikan bagi mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa dengan mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam membuat ramalan menggunakan ANN, kerosakan boleh diramalkan pada tahap keyakinan yang tinggi. Kata kunci: Artificial neural network; ketidakpastian; kesilapan rawak Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely applied to detect damages in structures based on structural vibration modal parameters. However, uncertainties that inevitably exist in finite element model and measured vibration data might lead to false or unreliable prediction of structural damage. In this study, a statistical approach is proposed to include the effect of uncertainties in the ANN algorithm for damage prediction. ANN is used to predict the stiffness parameters of structures from measured structural vibration frequencies and mode shapes. Uncertainties in the measured data and finite element model of the structure are considered in the prediction. The statistics of the identified parameters are determined using Rossenblueth’s point estimation method and verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that by considering these uncertainties in the ANN model, the damages can be detected with a higher confidence level.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of artificial neural network models in the prediction of stresses in a 400 MVA power transformer winding conductor caused by the circulation of fault currents. The models were compared considering the training, validation, and test data errors’ behavior. Different combinations of hyperparameters were analyzed based on the variation of architectures, optimizers, and activation functions. The data for the process was created from finite element simulations performed in the FEMM software. The design of the Artificial Neural Network was performed using the Keras framework. As a result, a model with one hidden layer was the best suited architecture for the problem at hand, with the optimizer Adam and the activation function ReLU. The final Artificial Neural Network model predictions were compared with the Finite Element Method results, showing good agreement but with a much shorter solution time.

Seismic analysis of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge based on finite element method is a time-consuming work. Especially when uncertainty of material and structural parameters are involved, the computational requirements may exceed the computational power of high performance computers. In this paper, a seismic analysis method of CFST arch bridge based on artificial neural network is presented. The ANN is trained by these seismic damage and corresponding sample parameters based on finite element analysis. In order to obtain more efficient training samples, a uniform design method is used to select sample parameters. By comparing the damage probabilities under different seismic intensities, it is found that the damage probabilities of the neural network method and the finite element method are basically the same. The method based on ANN can save a lot of computing time.
