Vibration Properties

In vibration-based structural damage detection, it is necessary to discriminate the variation of structural properties due to environmental changes from those caused by structural damages. The present paper aims to investigate the temperature effect on vibration-based structural damage detection in which the vibration data are measured under varying temperature conditions. A simply-supported slab was tested in laboratory to extract the vibration properties with modal testing. The slab was then damaged and the modal testing was conducted again, in which the temperature varied. The modal data measured under different temperature conditions were used to detect the damage with a two-stage model updating technique. Some damage was falsely detected if the temperature variation was not considered. Natural frequencies were then corrected to those under the same temperature conditions according to the relation between the temperature and material modulus. It is shown that all of the damaged elements can be accurately identified.

Vibration Data

One of the main challenges for structural damage detection using monitoring data is to acquire features that are sensitive to damages but insensitive to noise (e.g. sensor measurement noise) as well as environmental and operational effects (e.g. temperature effect). Inspired by the capabilities of deep learning methods in representation learning, various deep neural networks have been developed to obtain effective damage features from raw vibration data. However, most of the available deep neural networks are supervised, resulting in practical difficulties owing to the lack of damage labels. This article proposes a damage detection strategy based on an unsupervised deep neural network, referred to as deep convolutional denoising autoencoder, which accepts multi-dimensional cross-correlation functions as input. The strategy aims to extract damage features from field measurements of undamaged structures under the influence of noise and temperature uncertainties. In the proposed strategy, cross-correlation functions of vibration data are first calculated as basic features; then deep convolutional denoising autoencoder is developed to reconstruct cross-correlation functions from their noise-corrupted versions to extract desired features; exponentially weighted moving average control charts are finally established for these features to identify minor structural damages. The strategy is evaluated through a numerical simply supported beam model and an experimental continuous beam model. The mechanism of deep convolutional denoising autoencoder to extract damage features is interpreted by visualizing feature maps of convolutional layers in the encoder. It is found that these layers perform rough estimations of modal properties and preserve the damage information as the general trend of these properties in multiple extra frequency bands. The results show that the proposed strategy is competent for structural damage detection under the exposed environment and worth further exploring its capabilities in applications of real bridges.
