In this paper, a novel damage detection approach for the spring connection of the double beam system using the dynamic response of the beam and genetic algorithm is presented. The double beam system is regarded as both Bernoulli-Euler beams with simply supported ends, the upper and lower beams are connected by a series of linear springs with certain intervals. With the genetic algorithm, the dynamic acceleration response of double beam system under moving load, which can be solved by the Newmark-β integration procedure, is used as the input data to detect the connection damage. Thus the dynamic response of the double beam system with a certain damage pattern can be calculated employing the moving load model. If the calculated result is quite close to the recorded response of the damaged bridge, this damage pattern will be the solution. The connection damage detection process of the proposed approach is presented herein, and its feasibility is studied from the numerical investigation with simple and multiple damages detection. It is concluded that the sophisticated damage conditions need much longer time to detect successfully.

Double Beam

The dynamic response of a simply supported double-beam system under moving loads was studied. First, in order to reduce the difficulty of solving the equation, a finite sin-Fourier transform was used to transform the infinite-degree-of-freedom double-beam system into a superimposed two-degrees-of-freedom system. Second, Duhamel’s integral was used to obtain the analytical expression of Fourier amplitude spectrum function considering the initial conditions. Finally, based on finite sin-Fourier inverse transform, the analytical expression of dynamic response of a simply supported double-beam system under moving loads was deduced. The dynamic response under successive moving loads was calculated by the analytical method and the general FEM software ANSYS. The analysis results show that the analytical method calculation results are consistent with ANSYS’ calculation, thus validating the analytical calculation method. The simply supported double-beam system had multiple critical speeds, and the flexural rigidity significantly affected both peak vertical displacement and critical speed.

In order to establish and solve vehicle-bridge interaction matrix equations more easily and able to be applied to any vehicle-bridge interaction problems, a procedure has been programmed based on the ANSYS and MATLAB. Its feasibility and accuracy has been verified via comparing the results of a simple example with another verified procedure programed in the same method based on MATLAB. A study of contrasting moving load model and moving sprung mass model has been done with the former procedure. It indicates that the inertia force of the mass has a low effect on the dynamic response of vehicle and bridge when the vertical roughness of the bridge and damping effect are ignored.

Detection Quality

The degradation of a steel dome due to strong earthquake may lead to a sudden loss of structural stiffness in a structure and cause a discontinuity in acceleration response time histories recorded in the vicinity of damage location at damage time instant. A damage detection approach based on discrete wavelet transform is developed and implemented in this paper to detect the damage time instant and location of a steel dome due to sudden seismic damage. To examine the feasibility of the wavelet-based detection approach, parameter studies are carried out to investigate the detection quality for different noise intensities. The time instant and location of sudden damage event are detected through the distribution of discrete wavelet coefficients in the time domain and spatial distribution along the structural span.

Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, first, partial differential equations were established for the vibration of multiple simply supported beams subjected to moving loads. Then, integral transforms were conducted on the spatial displacement coordinate and time in the partial differential equations, and the frequency-domain response of multiple simply supported beams subjected to moving loads was obtained. Next, by conducting the corresponding inverse transforms on the displacement frequency-domain responses of multiple simply supported beams, the spatial displacement time-domain responses were obtained. Finally, to validate the analytical method reported in this paper, the dynamic response of a typical double simply supported rail-bridge beam system of high-speed railway in China subjected to a moving load was carried out. The results show that the analytical solution proposed in this paper is consistent with the results obtained from a finite element analysis, validating and rationalizing the analytical solution. Moreover, the system parameters were analyzed for the dynamic response of double simply supported rail-bridge beam system in high-speed railway subjected to a moving load with different speeds; the conclusions can be beneficial for engineering practice.
