Improvement and Application of Immune Genetic Algorithm in Structural Damage Identification

In order to solve structural multi-damage identification problem, a two-stage method based on Bayesian theory and immune genetic algorithm (IGA) is presented. Firstly, structural modal strain energy and frequency are considered as two kinds of information sources, and Bayesian theory is utilized to integrate the two information sources and preliminarily detect structural damage locations. Then, immune genetic algorithm is used to identify structural damage extents. Considering the convergence rate of basic IGA is still not very good, some improved strategies, such as culture vaccine, two termination conditions, are presented. It is shown that the two-stage method can precisely identify structural damage locations and extent, and the calculated results of the proposed improved IGA are obviously better than those of both the basic IGA and simple genetic algorithm.

Quantitative analysis of damage extent of transmission tower by using strain energy method

In order to solve the structural damage identification problem of transmission tower, a two-step identification method based on change rate and dissipation rate of modal strain energy is proposed. The damage location is identified by the change rate of modal strain energy method. Then, the modal strain energy dissipation rate theory is analyzed further by using the element stiffness matrix after injury. As a result, a more accurate damage quantification equation method is introduced. This method requires only several modals of vibration.

An edge detection method based on a good point set genetic algorithm

In order to improve the convergence rate of genetic algorithms based on edge detection, a novel edge detection method based on a good point set genetic algorithm (GGA) was proposed. The proposed method designed the crossover operation with the theory of good point set in which the progeny inherits the common genes of the parents which represent its family so as to improve the convergence rate of the genetic algorithm. Furthermore, before the algorithm was used for edge detection, the feature space of the image grey level was transformed into the feature space of the fuzzy entropy. Dissimilarity enhancement processing next was applied to the image by using a fuzzy entropy theory to filter the non edge pixels so as to reduce the scale of the solution domain. This approach offered another efficient way to improve the convergence rate. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm performs very well in terms of convergence rate. The detected edge image is well localized, thin, and robustly resistant to noise.

a rational method for defining damage variables in one dimension

To address the issue of whether it is rational to define damage variables through the degradation of elastic modules, we essentially clarified which material module should be used to describe the damage variables in unidimensional cases, and pointed out that the reference undamaged working state of material was needed firstly in order to measure the degree of damage if the strain equivalence hypothesis was used. We maintained it was baseless to consider the linear stress strain working state as an undamaged reference state. We deduced a rational definition of elastic and elasto plastic damage variables. We stated that the degradation of an unloading module can be used to define the damage variables. To illustrate the definition of damage variables, we presented an example of establishing a damage constitutive equation of concrete in compression, validate the elastic strain equivalence hypothesis, and provide an appropriate approach for establishing a damage constitutive model.

Two-level Safety Evaluation and Structural Optimization of Steel Truss Bridge

A robust method for determining the component safety factor and structural safety factor of steel truss bridge is developed based on elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM). A procedure of two-level safety analysis and structural optimization is presented by means of the linear FEA iteration and the generalized yield criterion to take multiple internal forces into consideration. The strategy of elastic modulus adjustment is derived according to the principle of conversation of energy. The element bearing ratio (EBR) in every step can be obtained, and the first and last EBRs are employed to determine component safety factor and the structural safety factor for two-level structural safety evaluation of steel truss bridge. Those components with higher or lower EBR than the referenced EBR can be identified. By taking the quantitative relationship of the two level safety factors, a structural optimization scheme with better distribution of the EBR and saving material consumption can be achieved by adjusting the sectional strength of components with higher and lower EBR. Numerical examples show that the proposed method is promising with satisfying accuracy. The analysis of structural safety and optimization can be implemented by using the linear iteration while complicated nonlinear analysis in classical scheme is avoided.
