  • Publication number: 20240029402
    Abstract: An intelligent method for efficiently classifying concrete cracks from large amounts of image data is proposed, named inverted residual (IR) 7-Efficient Channel Attention and Convolutional Block Attention Module (EC) network. The IR7-EC network consists of a convolutional layer, seven inverted residual-ECA structures, a CBAM attention mechanism, a pooling layer, and multiple fully connected layers that are sequentially connected. The inverted residual-ECA structure consists of two components: a depthwise separable convolution-based inverted residual structure and an ECA attention mechanism. The new inverted residual structure facilitates the feature extraction of concrete cracks. Compared to conventional network structures like VGG and Resnet, the proposed IR7-EC network excels in both accuracy and efficiency. Once the IR7-EC network is fully trained, it can accurately classify various types of concrete cracks in captured images.

  • Publication number: 20230334198
    Abstract: A structural dynamic parameter identification method aided by a rPCK surrogate model comprises the following steps. Establish a finite element model that roughly reflects the structural system to be analyzed. Establish the dynamic parameter space sample set. The structural system response space sample set driven by the dynamic parameter space sample set is established by using the probabilistic finite element analysis. The robust polynomial Chaos Kriging surrogate model is obtained by mapping the dynamic parameter space sample set to the structural system response space sample set. The measured structural system response is used to drive the rPCK surrogate model, and then Bayesian inference is used to identify the structural dynamic parameters. The mean value of Bayesian posterior estimation is used as the estimated value of structural dynamic parameters. The proposed method creates conditions for establishing a high-fidelity finite element model of the actual engineering structural system.
