This article proposes a deep sparse autoencoder framework for structural damage identification. This framework can be employed to obtain the optimal solutions for some pattern recognition problems with highly nonlinear nature, such as learning a mapping between the vibration characteristics and structural damage. Three main components are defined in the proposed framework, namely, the pre-processing component with a data whitening process, the sparse dimensionality reduction component where the dimensionality of the original input vector is reduced while preserving the required necessary information, and the relationship learning component where the mapping between the compressed dimensional feature and the stiffness reduction parameters of the structure is built. The proposed framework utilizes the sparse autoencoders based deep neural network structure to enhance the capability and performance of the dimensionality reduction and relationship learning components with a pre-training scheme. In the final stage of training, both components are jointly optimized to fine-tune the network towards achieving a better accuracy in structural damage identification. Since structural damages usually occur only at a small number of elements that exhibit stiffness reduction out of the large total number of elements in the entire structure, sparse regularization is adopted in this framework. Numerical studies on a steel frame structure are conducted to investigate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed framework in structural damage identification, taking into consideration the effects of noise in the measurement data and uncertainties in the finite element modelling. Experimental studies on a prestressed concrete bridge in the laboratory are conducted to further validate the performance of using the proposed framework for structural damage identification.

Sensitivity analysis is widely used in engineering fields, such as structural damage identification, model correction, and vibration control. In general, the existing sensitivity calculation formulas are derived from th,,,e complete finite element model, which requires a large amount of calculation for large-scale structures. In view of this, a fast sensitivity analysis algorithm based on the reduced finite element model is proposed in this paper. The basic idea of the proposed sensitivity analysis algorithm is to use a model reduction technique to avoid the complex calculation required in solving eigenvalues and eigenvectors by the complete model. Compared with the existing sensitivity calculation formulas, the proposed approach may increase efficiency, with a small loss of accuracy of sensitivity analysis. Using the fast sensitivity analysis, the linear equations for structural damage identification can be established to solve the desired elemental damage parameters. Moreover, a feedback-generalized inverse algorithm is proposed in this work in order to improve the calculation accuracy of damage identification. The core principle of this feedback operation is to reduce the number of unknowns, step by step, according to the generalized inverse solution. Numerical and experimental examples show that the fast sensitivity analysis based on the reduced model can obtain almost the same results as those obtained by the complete model for low eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The feedback-generalized inverse algorithm can effectively overcome the ill-posed problem of the linear equations and obtain accurate results of damage identification under data noise interference. The proposed method may be a very promising tool for sensitivity analysis and damage identification based on the reduced finite element model.

Structural damage identification technology is of great significance to improve the reliability and safety of civil structures and has attracted much attention in the study of structural health monitoring. In this paper, a novel structural damage identification method based on transmissibility in the time domain is proposed. The method takes the discrepancy of transmissibility of structure response in the time domain before and after damage as the basis of finite element model updating. The damage is located and quantified through iteration by minimizing the difference between the measurements at gauge locations and the reconstruction response extrapolated by the finite element model. Taking advantage of the response reconstruction method based on empirical mode decomposition, damage information can be obtained in the absence of prior knowledge on excitation. Moreover, this method directly collects time-domain data for identification without modal identification and frequent time–frequency conversion, which can greatly improve efficiency on the premise of ensuring accuracy. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the overall damage identification method, and the study of measurement noise shows that the method has strong robustness. Finally, the present work investigates the method through a simply supported overhanging beam. The experiments collect the vibration strain signals of the beam via resistance strain gauges. The comparison between identification results and theoretical values shows the effectiveness and accuracy of the method.
