  • Publication number: 20240118150
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for testing an internal force increment of an arch bridge suspender by inertial measurement, including the following steps: (1) selecting a suspender to be tested with internal force increment, and mounting an acceleration sensing device or a speed sensing device at a lower edge of the suspender to be tested; (2) setting an appropriate sampling frequency and collecting signals; (3) processing information data collected in step (2) by using Formulas; and (4) recording a result of the information data processing and obtaining the internal force increment of the suspender. The method can obtain the internal force increment of the suspender by collecting acceleration or speed signals of the lower edge of the suspender and performing calculation from the signals. This method has the advantages of simple and convenient testing, high replicability and low test cost.

  • Patent number: 11823412
    Abstract: A method for generating and evaluating N-to-1 mappings, between spatial point sets in nD, n=2 or 3 implemented on a computing device comprising a programmable general purpose processor and a programmable data-parallel coprocessor and a memory coupled with them. Embodiments comprises using the computing device to receive a first and a second spatial point sets, the first spatial point set comprising a first non-empty portion of non-isolated points and a second non-empty portion of constrained points, an array of fixed correspondents for the second non-empty portion, and a CCISS or padded CCISS between the first non-isolated portion and the second spatial point set, and use these to generate an array of N-to-1 mappings between the first portion of non-isolated points and the second spatial point set, an array of overall distance measures for the array of N-to-1 mappings, and an optimal N-to-1 mapping with the lowest overall distance measure.
