After the introduction of the basic theory, the function model, classifications and mathematical methods of MSIF, a structural damage detection method based on MSIF is presented, which is to fuse two or more damage character vectors from different structural damage diagnosis methods on the character-level. In an experiment of concrete plates, modal information is measured and analyzed. The structural damage detection method based on MSIF is taken to localize cracks of concrete plates and it is proved to be effective. Results of damage detection by the method based on MSIF are compared with those from the modal strain energy method and the flexibility method. Damage, which can hardly be detected by using the single damage identification method, can be diagnosed by the damage detection method based on the character-level MSIF technique. Meanwhile multi-location damage can be identified by the method based on MSIF. This method is sensitive to structural damage and different mathematical methods for MSIF have different preconditions and applicabilities for diversified structures. How to choose mathematical methods for MSIF should be discussed in detail in health monitoring systems of actual structures.展开更多

Identification of multi-degree of freedom （MDOF） linear time invariant （LTI） and linear time variant （LTV--due to damage） systems based on Time-frequency （TF） techniques--such as short-time Fourier transform （STFT）, empirical mode decomposition （EMD）, and wavelets--is proposed. STFT, EMD, and wavelet methods developed to date are reviewed in detail. In addition a Hilbert transform （HT） approach to determine frequency and damping is also presented. In this paper, STFT, EMD, HT and wavelet techniques are developed for decomposition of free vibration response of MDOF systems into their modal components. Once the modal components are obtained, each one is processed using Hilbert transform to obtain the modal frequency and damping ratios. In addition, the ratio of modal components at different degrees of freedom facilitate determination of mode shape. In cases with output only modal identification using ambient/random response, the random decrement technique is used to obtain free vibration response. The advantage of TF techniques is that they arc signal based; hence, can be used for output only modal identification. A three degree of freedom 1：10 scale model test structure is used to validate the proposed output only modal identification techniques based on STFT, EMD, HT, wavelets. Both measured free vibration and forced vibration （white noise） response are considered. The secondary objective of this paper is to show the relative ease with which the TF techniques can be used for modal identification and their potential for real world applications where output only identification is essential. Recorded ambient vibration data processed using techniques such as the random decrement technique can be used to obtain the free vibration response, so that further processing using TF based modal identification can be performed.展开更多

However it has some intrinsic defects in object detection. Firstly, how to learn a discriminative dictionary for object detection is a hard problem. Secondly, it is usually very time-consuming to learn dictionary based features in a traditional exhaustive search manner like sliding window. In this paper, we propose a novel feature learning framework for object detection with the structure sparsity constraint and classification error minimization constraint to learn a discriminative dictionary. For improving the efficiency, we just learn sparse representation coefficients from object candidate regions and feed them to a kernelized SVM classifier. Experiments on INRIA Person Dataset and Pascal VOC 2007 challenge dataset clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared with two state-of-the-art baselines.展开更多

This paper presents the expressions for the POD of four different damage forms mainly existing in offshore structures. The fuzzy-set theory is applied to estimate human errors through the definition of inspection quality. Expressions of inspection quality are achieved. To verify the validity and correctness of the expressions, the data from an offshore platform field inspection of evaluation results of human errors affecting inspection quality are used to estimate the parameters of the POD. The results show that the present models can provide basis for further study of ofTshore structural inspection reliability.展开更多

By the DIV, undamagc elements can be castly identified and the damage detection can be limited to a few domains of the structure. The structural damage is located by conlputing the Euclidean distance betwcen the DIV and its BAV. The loss of both stiffness and mass properties can be located and quantified.The characteristic of this method is less calculation and there is no limitation of damage scale. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by detecting the damages of the shallow arches.展开更多

文摘With the continuous expansion of digital infrastructures,malicious behaviors in host systems have become increasingly sophisticated,often spanning multiple processes and employing obfuscation techniques to evade detection.Audit logs,such as Sysmon,offer valuable insights;however,existing approaches typically flatten event sequences or rely on generic graph models,thereby discarding the natural parent-child process hierarchy that is critical for analyzing multiprocess attacks.This paper proposes a structure-aware threat detection framework that transforms audit logs into a unified two-dimensional(2D)spatio-temporal representation,where process hierarchy is modeled as the spatial axis and event chronology as the temporal axis.In addition,entropy-based features are incorporated to robustly capture obfuscated and non-linguistic strings,overcoming the limitations of semantic embeddings.The model’s performance was evaluated on publicly available datasets,achieving competitive results with an accuracy exceeding 95%and an F1-score of at least 0.94.The proposed approach provides a promising and reproducible solution for detecting attacks with unknown indicators of compromise(IoCs)by analyzing the relationships and behaviors of processes recorded in large-scale audit logs.

文摘Classic sparse representation, as one of prevalent feature learning methods, is successfully applied for different computer vision tasks. However it has some intrinsic defects in object detection. Firstly, how to learn a discriminative dictionary for object detection is a hard problem. Secondly, it is usually very time-consuming to learn dictionary based features in a traditional exhaustive search manner like sliding window. In this paper, we propose a novel feature learning framework for object detection with the structure sparsity constraint and classification error minimization constraint to learn a discriminative dictionary. For improving the efficiency, we just learn sparse representation coefficients from object candidate regions and feed them to a kernelized SVM classifier. Experiments on INRIA Person Dataset and Pascal VOC 2007 challenge dataset clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared with two state-of-the-art baselines.
文摘To characterize the uncertainty and fuzziness in offshore structural inspection, probability of detection (POD) must be determined. This paper presents the expressions for the POD of four different damage forms mainly existing in offshore structures. The fuzzy-set theory is applied to estimate human errors through the definition of inspection quality. Expressions of inspection quality are achieved. To verify the validity and correctness of the expressions, the data from an offshore platform field inspection of evaluation results of human errors affecting inspection quality are used to estimate the parameters of the POD. The results show that the present models can provide basis for further study of ofTshore structural inspection reliability.
文摘Accurate estimation of stiffness loss is a challenging problem in structural health monitoring.In this studyorthogonal wavelet decomposition is used for identifying the stiffness loss in a single degree of freedom spring-mass-dampersystem.The effects of excitation frequency on accuracy of damage detection is investigated.Results show that pseudo-aliaseffects caused by the orthogonal wavelet decomposition(OWD),affect damage detectability.It is demonstrated that theproposed approach is sunable for damage detection when the excitation frequency is relatively low.This study shows how apriori knowledge about the signal and ability to control the sampling frequency can enhance damage detectability.

文摘Structural Health Monitoring(SHM)systems have become a crucial tool for the operational management of long tunnels.For immersed tunnels exposed to both traffic loads and the effects of the marine environment,efficiently identifying abnormal conditions from the extensive unannotated SHM data presents a significant challenge.This study proposed amodel-based approach for anomaly detection and conducted validation and comparative analysis of two distinct temporal predictive models using SHM data from a real immersed tunnel.Firstly,a dynamic predictive model-based anomaly detectionmethod is proposed,which utilizes a rolling time window for modeling to achieve dynamic prediction.Leveraging the assumption of temporal data similarity,an interval prediction value deviation was employed to determine the abnormality of the data.Subsequently,dynamic predictive models were constructed based on the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA)and Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)models.The hyperparameters of these models were optimized and selected using monitoring data from the immersed tunnel,yielding viable static and dynamic predictive models.Finally,the models were applied within the same segment of SHM data,to validate the effectiveness of the anomaly detection approach based on dynamic predictive modeling.A detailed comparative analysis discusses the discrepancies in temporal anomaly detection between the ARIMA-and LSTM-based models.The results demonstrated that the dynamic predictive modelbased anomaly detection approach was effective for dealing with unannotated SHM data.In a comparison between ARIMA and LSTM,it was found that ARIMA demonstrated higher modeling efficiency,rendering it suitable for short-term predictions.In contrast,the LSTM model exhibited greater capacity to capture long-term performance trends and enhanced early warning capabilities,thereby resulting in superior overall performance.

文摘Structural damage detection(SDD)remains highly challenging,due to the difficulty in selecting the optimal damage features from a vast amount of information.In this study,a tree model-based method using decision tree and random forest was employed for feature selection of vibration response signals in SDD.Signal datasets were obtained by numerical experiments and vibration experiments,respectively.Dataset features extracted using this method were input into a convolutional neural network to determine the location of structural damage.Results indicated a 5%to 10%improvement in detection accuracy compared to using original datasets without feature selection,demonstrating the feasibility of this method.The proposed method,based on tree model and classification,addresses the issue of extracting effective information from numerous vibration response signals in structural health monitoring.
文摘This paper presents a new method using the damage induction vector (DIV) and the best achievable vector (BAV) by which the change of modes due to structural damage can be applied to detcrnlinc the location and scale of damage in structures. By the DIV, undamagc elements can be castly identified and the damage detection can be limited to a few domains of the structure. The structural damage is located by conlputing the Euclidean distance betwcen the DIV and its BAV. The loss of both stiffness and mass properties can be located and quantified.The characteristic of this method is less calculation and there is no limitation of damage scale. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by detecting the damages of the shallow arches.

文摘This paper proposes a novel idea that classifies faults into two different kinds： serious faults and small faults, and treats them with different strategies respectively. A kind of artificial neural network （ANN） is proposed for detecting serious faults, and variable structure （VS） model-following control is constructed for accommodating small faults. The proposed framework takes both advantages of qualitative way and quantitative way of fault detection and accommodation. Moreover, the uncertainty case is investigated and the VS controller is modified. Simulation results of a remotely piloted aircraft with control actuator failures illustrate the performance of the developed algorithm.
