Based on mode shape, a new parameter was put forward—mode shape curvature ratio, for detecting structure damages. And it was also the input vector of the RBF neural network. Then through finite element analysis and calculating, the training and forecasting samples were got for the network. The trained neural network can identify the damage location and degree of the frame structure. It proved that this method is simple and valid.

In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to extract the damage features of a steel frame structure. As structural damage could induce changes of the modal parameters of the structure, the convolution operation was used to extract the features of modal parameters, and a classification algorithm was used to judge the damage state of the structure. The finite element method was applied to analyze the free vibration of the steel frame and obtain the first-order modal strain energy for various damage scenarios, which was used as the CNN training sample. Then vibration experiments were carried out, and modal parameters were obtained from the modal analysis of the vibration signals. The experimental data were inputted into the CNN to verify its damage detection capability. The result showed that the CNN was effective in detecting the intact structure, single damage, and multi damages with an accuracy of 100%. For comparison, the same samples were also applied to the traditional back propagation (BP) neural network, which failed to detect the intact structure and multiple-damage cases. It was found that: (1) The proposed CNN could be trained from finite element simulation data and used in real frame structure damage detection, and it performed better in structural damage detection than BP neural networks; (2) the measured data of a real structure could be supplemented by numerical simulation data, and satisfactory results have been demonstrated.

This paper investigates potential applications of the rough sets (RS) theory and artificial neural network (ANN) method on structural damage detection. An information entropy based discretization algorithm in RS is applied for dimension reduction of the original damage database obtained from finite element analysis (FEA). The proposed approach is tested with a 14-bay steel truss model for structural damage detection. The experimental results show that the damage features can be extracted efficiently from the combined utilization of RS and ANN methods even the volume of measurement data is enormous and with uncertainties.

The RBF network was applied in the rotor system to realize the fault diagnosis aiming the mapping complexity between fault symptoms and fault patterns. It can overcome the problems of low learning rates of convergence and falling easily into part minimums in BP algorithm, and improve the precision of diagnosis. The normalized values of seven frequency ranges in amplitude spectrum were used as the fault characteristic quantity, the RBF network was trained to diagnose the faults of rotor system. The results show that RBF neural network is a valid method of diagnosis of mechanical failure.

Choose factors which influence the energy demand by the method of path analysis, build radial basis function (RBF) neural network model to predict energy demand in China. The RBF neural network is trained with the actual data of the main factors affecting energy demand during 1989-2003 and energy demand during 1993-2007 as learning sample with a good fitting effect. After testing network with the actual data of the main factors affecting energy demand during 2004-2007 and energy demand during 2008-2011, higher prediction accuracy can be obtained. By comparison with the BP network, RBF network prediction model outperforms BP network prediction model, finally RBF network is applied to make prediction of energy consumption for the year 2013-2015.
