  • Publication number: 20240221357
    Abstract: A three-stage modularized convolutional neural network (CNN) called Stairnet is disclosed for efficient classification of concrete cracks in images. Unlike traditional CNNs which exhibit similar structural characteristics in each layer, Stairnet is composed of three distinct parts: stair1, stair2, and stair3, each possessing its own unique structural characteristics. Stair1 exclusively consists of convolution layers, while stair2 incorporates a greater number of layers. Stair3, on the other hand, utilizes larger expansion factors and kernel size. Stair1 and stair2 exhibit various variations that result in their modification alongside certain parameters of Stairnet. In contrast to traditional CNNs utilized for the classification of thousands of classes, Stairnet stands out with its smaller model size, faster training speed, and high accuracy in classifying concrete cracks.

  • 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.

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.
