The review focuses on bridge and building structures using vibration-based techniques. Structural monitoring systems in Japan historically started with the objective of evaluating structural responses against extreme events. In the development of structural monitoring, monitoring systems and collected data were used to verify design assumptions, update speci cations, and facilitate the ef cacy of vibration control systems. Strategies and case studies on monitoring for the design veri cation of long-span bridges and tall buildings, the performance of seismic isolation systems in building and bridges, the veri cation of structural retro t, the veri cation of structural control systems (passive, semi-active, and active), structural assessment, and damage detec- tion are described. More recently, the application of monitoring systems has been extended to facilitate ef cient operation and effective maintenance through the rationalization of risk and asset management using monitoring data. This paper also summarizes the lessons learned and feedback obtained from case studies on the structural monitoring of bridges and buildings in Japan.展开更多

However, haze we...Environmentalmonitoring systems based on remote sensing technology have a wider monitoringrange and longer timeliness, which makes them widely used in the detection andmanagement of pollution sources. However, haze weather conditions degrade image qualityand reduce the precision of environmental monitoring systems. To address this problem,this research proposes a remote sensing image dehazingmethod based on the atmosphericscattering model and a dark channel prior constrained network. The method consists ofa dehazing network, a dark channel information injection network (DCIIN), and a transmissionmap network. Within the dehazing network, the branch fusion module optimizesfeature weights to enhance the dehazing effect. By leveraging dark channel information,the DCIIN enables high-quality estimation of the atmospheric veil. To ensure the outputof the deep learning model aligns with physical laws, we reconstruct the haze image usingthe prediction results from the three networks. Subsequently, we apply the traditionalloss function and dark channel loss function between the reconstructed haze image and theoriginal haze image. This approach enhances interpretability and reliabilitywhile maintainingadherence to physical principles. Furthermore, the network is trained on a synthesizednon-homogeneous haze remote sensing dataset using dark channel information from cloudmaps. The experimental results show that the proposed network can achieve better imagedehazing on both synthetic and real remote sensing images with non-homogeneous hazedistribution. This research provides a new idea for solving the problem of decreased accuracyof environmental monitoring systems under haze weather conditions and has strongpracticability.展开更多

文摘In common practice in the oil fields,the injection of water and gas into reservoirs is a crucial technique to increase production.The control of the waterflooding front in oil/gas exploitation is a matter of great concern to reservoir engineers.Monitoring the waterflooding front in oil/gas wells plays a very important role in adjusting the well network and later in production,taking advantage of the remaining oil po-tential and ultimately achieving great success in improving the recovery rate.For a long time,micro-seismic monitoring,numerical simulation,four-dimensional seismic and other methods have been widely used in waterflooding front monitoring.However,reconciling their reliability and cost poses a significant challenge.In order to achieve real-time,reliable and cost-effective monitoring,we propose an innovative method for waterflooding front monitoring through the similarity analysis of passive source time-lapse seismic images.Typically,passive source seismic data collected from oil fields have extremely low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),which poses a serious problem for obtaining structural images.The proposed method aims to visualize and analyze underground changes by highlighting time-lapse images and provide a strategy for underground monitoring using long-term passive source data under low SNR conditions.First,we verify the feasibility of the proposed method by designing a theoretical model.Then,we conduct an analysis of the correlation coefficient(similarity)on the passive source time-lapse seismic imaging results to enhance the image differences and identify the simulated waterflooding fronts.Finally,the proposed method is applied to the actual waterflooding front monitoring tasks in Shengli Oilfield,China.The research findings indicate that the monitoring results are consistent with the actual devel-opment conditions,which in turn demonstrates that the proposed method has great potential for practical application and is very suitable for monitoring common development tasks in oil fields.

文摘Railway infrastructure is a crucial asset for the mobility of people and goods.The increased traffic frequency imposes higher loads and speeds,leading to accelerated infrastructure degradation.Asset managers require timely information regarding the current(diagnosis)and future(prognosis)condition of their assets to make informed decisions on maintenance and renewal actions.In recent years,in-service vehicles equipped with on-board monitoring(OBM)measuring devices,such as accelerometers,have been introduced on railroad networks,traversing the network almost daily.This article explores the application of state-of-the-art OBM-based track quality indicators for railway infrastructure condition assessment and prediction,primarily under the prism of track geometry quality.The results highlight the similarities and advantages of applying track quality indicators generated from OBM measurements(high frequency and relatively lower accuracy data)compared to those generated from higher precision,yet temporally sparser,data collected by traditional track recording vehicles(TRVs)for infrastructure management purposes.The findings demonstrate the performance of the two approaches,further revealing the value of OBM information for monitoring the track status degradation process.This work makes a case for the advantageous use of OBM data for railway infrastructure management,and attempts to aid understanding in the application of OBM techniques for engineers and operators.

文摘Fatigue damage is a primary contributor to the failure of composite structures,underscoring the critical importance of monitoring its progression to ensure structural safety.This paper introduces an innovative approach to fatigue damage monitoring in composite structures,leveraging a hybrid methodology that integrates the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)-Backpropagation(BP)neural network with an ultrasonic guided wave feature selection algorithm.Initially,a network of piezoelectric ceramic sensors is employed to transmit and capture ultrasonic-guided waves,thereby establishing a signal space that correlates with the structural condition.Subsequently,the Relief-F algorithm is applied for signal feature extraction,culminating in the formation of a feature matrix.This matrix is then utilized to train the WOA-BP neural network,which optimizes the fatigue damage identification model globally.The proposed model’s efficacy in quantifying fatigue damage is tested against fatigue test datasets,with its performance benchmarked against the traditional BP neural network algorithm.The findings demonstrate that the WOA-BP neural network model not only surpasses the BP model in predictive accuracy but also exhibits enhanced global search capabilities.The effect of different sensor-receiver path signals on the model damage recognition results is also discussed.The results of the discussion found that the path directly through the damaged area is more accurate in modeling damage recognition compared to the path signals away from the damaged area.Consequently,the proposed monitoring method in the fatigue test dataset is adept at accurately tracking and recognizing the progression of fatigue damage.

文摘Predictive maintenance is essential for the implementation of an innovative and efficient structural health monitoring strategy.Models capable of accurately interpreting new data automatically collected by suitably placed sensors to assess the state of the infrastructure represent a fundamental step,particularly for the railway sector,whose safe and continuous operation plays a strategic role in the well-being and development of nations.In this scenario,the benefits of a digital twin of a bonded insu-lated rail joint(IRJ)with the predictive capabilities of advanced classification algorithms based on artificial intelligence have been explored.The digital model provides an accurate mechanical response of the infrastructure as a pair of wheels passes over the joint.As bolt preload conditions vary,four structural health classes were identified for the joint.Two parameters,i.e.gap value and vertical displacement,which are strongly correlated with bolt preload,are used in different combinations to train and test five predictive classifiers.Their classification effectiveness was assessed using several performance indica-tors.Finally,we compared the IRJ condition predictions of two trained classifiers with the available data,confirming their high accuracy.The approach presented provides an interesting solution for future predictive tools in SHM especially in the case of complex systems such as railways where the vehicle-infrastructure interaction is complex and always time varying.

文摘The Internet of Everything(IoE)coupled with Proactive Artificial Intelligence(AI)-Based Learning Agents(PLAs)through a cloud processing system is an idea that connects all computing resources to the Internet,making it possible for these devices to communicate with one another.Technologies featured in the IoE include embedding,networking,and sensing devices.To achieve the intended results of the IoE and ease life for everyone involved,sensing devices and monitoring systems are linked together.The IoE is used in several contexts,including intelligent cars’protection,navigation,security,and fuel efficiency.The Smart Things Monitoring System(STMS)framework,which has been proposed for early occurrence identification and theft prevention,is discussed in this article.The STMS uses technologies based on the IoE and PLAs to continuously and remotely observe,control,and monitor vehicles.The STMS is familiar with the platform used by the global positioning system;as a result,the STMS can maintain a real-time record of current vehicle positions.This information is utilized to locate the vehicle in an accident or theft.The findings of the STMS system are promising for precisely identifying crashes,evaluating incident severity,and locating vehicles after collisions have occurred.Moreover,we formulate an ad hoc STMS network communication scenario to evaluate the efficacy of data communication by utilizing various network parameters,such as round-trip time(RTT),data packet transmission,data packet reception,and loss.From our experimentation,we obtained an improved communication efficiency for STMS across multiple PLAs compared to the standard greedy routing and traditional AODV approaches.Our framework facilitates adaptable solutions with communication competence by deploying Proactive PLAs in a cloud-connected smart vehicular environment.
文摘This paper provides a review on the development of structural monitoring in Japan, with an emphasis on the type, strategy, and utilization of monitoring systems. The review focuses on bridge and building structures using vibration-based techniques. Structural monitoring systems in Japan historically started with the objective of evaluating structural responses against extreme events. In the development of structural monitoring, monitoring systems and collected data were used to verify design assumptions, update speci cations, and facilitate the ef cacy of vibration control systems. Strategies and case studies on monitoring for the design veri cation of long-span bridges and tall buildings, the performance of seismic isolation systems in building and bridges, the veri cation of structural retro t, the veri cation of structural control systems (passive, semi-active, and active), structural assessment, and damage detec- tion are described. More recently, the application of monitoring systems has been extended to facilitate ef cient operation and effective maintenance through the rationalization of risk and asset management using monitoring data. This paper also summarizes the lessons learned and feedback obtained from case studies on the structural monitoring of bridges and buildings in Japan.

文摘Environmentalmonitoring systems based on remote sensing technology have a wider monitoringrange and longer timeliness, which makes them widely used in the detection andmanagement of pollution sources. However, haze weather conditions degrade image qualityand reduce the precision of environmental monitoring systems. To address this problem,this research proposes a remote sensing image dehazingmethod based on the atmosphericscattering model and a dark channel prior constrained network. The method consists ofa dehazing network, a dark channel information injection network (DCIIN), and a transmissionmap network. Within the dehazing network, the branch fusion module optimizesfeature weights to enhance the dehazing effect. By leveraging dark channel information,the DCIIN enables high-quality estimation of the atmospheric veil. To ensure the outputof the deep learning model aligns with physical laws, we reconstruct the haze image usingthe prediction results from the three networks. Subsequently, we apply the traditionalloss function and dark channel loss function between the reconstructed haze image and theoriginal haze image. This approach enhances interpretability and reliabilitywhile maintainingadherence to physical principles. Furthermore, the network is trained on a synthesizednon-homogeneous haze remote sensing dataset using dark channel information from cloudmaps. The experimental results show that the proposed network can achieve better imagedehazing on both synthetic and real remote sensing images with non-homogeneous hazedistribution. This research provides a new idea for solving the problem of decreased accuracyof environmental monitoring systems under haze weather conditions and has strongpracticability.
