Comparative Analysis of ARIMA and LSTM Model-Based Anomaly Detection for Unannotated Structural Health Monitoring Data in an Immersed Tunnel

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.

Structural health monitoring of long-span suspension bridges using wavelet packet analysis

During the service life of civil engineering structures such as long-span bridges, local damage at key positions may continually accumulate, and may finally result in their sudden failure. One core issue of global vibration-based health monitoring methods is to seek some damage indices that are sensitive to structural damage, This paper proposes an online structural health monitoring method for long-span suspension bridges using wavelet packet transform （WPT）. The WPT- based method is based on the energy variations of structural ambient vibration responses decomposed using wavelet packet analysis. The main feature of this method is that the proposed wavelet packet energy spectrum （WPES） has the ability to detect structural damage from ambient vibration tests of a long-span suspension bridge. As an example application, the WPES-based health monitoring system is used on the Runyang Suspension Bridge under daily environmental conditions. The analysis reveals that changes in environmental temperature have a long-term influence on the WPES, while the effect of traffic loadings on the measured WPES of the bridge presents instantaneous changes because of the nonstationary properties of the loadings. The condition indication indices VD reflect the influences of environmental temperature on the dynamic properties of the Runyang Suspension Bridge. The field tests demonstrate that the proposed WPES-based condition indication index VD is a good candidate index for health monitoring of long-span suspension bridges under ambient excitations.

Improving autoencoder-based unsupervised damage detection in uncontrolled structural health monitoring under noisy conditions

Structural health monitoring is widely utilized in outdoor environments,especially under harsh conditions,which can introduce noise into the monitoring system.Therefore,designing an effective denoising strategy to enhance the performance of guided wave damage detection in noisy environments is crucial.This paper introduces a local temporal principal component analysis(PCA)reconstruction approach for denoising guided waves prior to implementing unsupervised damage detection,achieved through novel autoencoder-based reconstruction.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed denoising method significantly enhances damage detection performance when guided waves are contaminated by noise,with SNR values ranging from 10 to-5 dB.Following the implementation of the proposed denoising approach,the AUC score can elevate from 0.65 to 0.96 when dealing with guided waves corrputed by noise at a level of-5 dB.Additionally,the paper provides guidance on selecting the appropriate number of components used in the denoising PCA reconstruction,aiding in the optimization of the damage detection in noisy conditions.

Outlier Detection and Forecasting for Bridge Health Monitoring Based on Time Series Intervention Analysis

The method of time series analysis,applied by establishing appropriate mathematical models for bridge health monitoring data and making forecasts of structural future behavior,stands out as a novel and viable research direction for bridge state assessment.However,outliers inevitably exist in the monitoring data due to various interventions,which reduce the precision of model fitting and affect the forecasting results.Therefore,the identification of outliers is crucial for the accurate interpretation of the monitoring data.In this study,a time series model combined with outlier information for bridge health monitoring is established using intervention analysis theory,and the forecasting of the structural responses is carried out.There are three techniques that we focus on:(1)the modeling of seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average(SARIMA)model;(2)the methodology for outlier identification and amendment under the circumstances that the occurrence time and type of outliers are known and unknown;(3)forecasting of the model with outlier effects.The method was tested with a case study using monitoring data on a real bridge.The establishment of the original SARIMA model without considering outliers is first discussed,including the stationarity,order determination,parameter estimation and diagnostic checking of the model.Then the time-by-time iterative procedure for outlier detection,which is implemented by appropriate test statistics of the residuals,is performed.The SARIMA-outlier model is subsequently built.Finally,a comparative analysis of the forecasting performance between the original model and SARIMA-outlier model is carried out.The results demonstrate that proper time series models are effective in mining the characteristic law of bridge monitoring data.When the influence of outliers is taken into account,the fitted precision of the model is significantly improved and the accuracy and the reliability of the forecast are strengthened.

Hybrid Methodology for Structural Health Monitoring Based on Immune Algorithms and Symbolic Time Series Analysis

This hybrid methodology for structural health monitoring (SHM) is based on immune algorithms (IAs) and symbolic time series analysis (STSA). Real-valued negative selection (RNS) is used to detect damage detection and adaptive immune clonal selection algorithm (AICSA) is used to localize and quantify the damage. Data symbolization by using STSA alleviates the effects of harmful noise in raw acceleration data. This paper explains the mathematical basis of STSA and the procedure of the hybrid methodology. It also describes the results of an simulation experiment on a five-story shear frame structure that indicated the hybrid strategy can efficiently and precisely detect, localize and quantify damage to civil engineering structures in the presence of measurement noise.

Construction of project quality health monitoring system based on life-cycle theory

In order to more effectively assess the health status of a project, the monitoring indices in a project＇s life cycle are divided into quality index, cost index, time index, satisfaction index, and sustainable development index. Based on the feature of qualitative and quantitative indices combining, the PCA-PR （principal component analysis and pattern recognition） model is constructed. The model first analyzes the principal components of the life-cycle indices system constructed above, and picks up those principal component indices that can reflect the health status of a project at any time. Then the pattern recognition model is used to study these principal components, which means that the real time health status of the project can be divided into five lamps from a green lamp to a red one and the health status lamp of the project can be recognized by using the PR model and those principal components. Finally, the process is shown with a real example and a conclusion consistent with the actual situation is drawn. So the validity of the index system and the PCA-PR model can be confirmed.

The material mechanical parameters of the dam body and foundation will change when a dam is reinforced during the aging process.This causes significant changes in the structural state of the project and makes it difficult to ensure its structural safety.In this study,a new deformation warning index for reinforced concrete dams was developed according to the prototype monitoring data,statistical models,three-dimensional finite element model(FEM)numerical simulation,and the critical conditions of the dam structure.A statistical model was established to separate the water pressure component.Then,a three-dimensional FEM of the reinforced concrete dam was constructed to simulate the water pressure component.Furthermore,the deformation components that affected the mechanical parameters of the dam under the same amount of reservoir water level change were separated and quantified accurately.In addition,the method for inversion of comprehensive mechanical parameters after dam reinforcement was used.The influence mechanisms of the deformation behavior of concrete dams under the reservoir water level and temperature changes were investigated.A new deformation warning index was developed by combining the forward-simulated critical water pressure component and temperature component in the period of extreme temperature decrease with the aging component separated by the statistical model.The new deformation warning index considers the structural state of the dam before and after reinforcement and links the structural strength criterion and the deformation evolution mechanisms.It provides a theoretical foundation and decision support for long-term service and operation management of reinforced dams.

Offshore platforms are of high strategic importance,whose preventive maintenance is on top priority.Buoyant Leg Storage and Regasification Platforms(BLSRP)are special of its kind as they handle LNG storage and processing,which are highly hazardous.Implementation of structural health monitoring(SHM)to offshore platforms ensures safe operability and structural integrity.Prospective damages on the offshore platforms under rare events can be readily identified by deploying dense array of sensors.A novel scheme of deploying wireless sensor network is experimentally investigated on an offshore BLSRP,including postulated failure modes that arise from tether failure.Response of the scaled model under wave loads is acquired by both wired and wireless sensors to validate the proposed scheme.Proposed wireless sensor network is used to trigger alert monitoring to communicate the unwarranted response of the deck and buoyant legs under the postulated failure modes.SHM triggers the alert mechanisms on exceedance of the measured data with that of the preset threshold values;alert mechanisms used in the present study include email alert and message pop-up to the validated user accounts.Presented study is a prima facie of SHM application to offshore platforms,successfully demonstrated in lab scale.

Fast and robust strain signal processing for aircraft structural health monitoring

This work elaborates a fast and robust structural health monitoring scheme for copying with aircraft structural fatigue.The type of noise in structural strain signals is determined by using a statistical analysis method,which can be regarded as a mixture of Gaussian-like(tiny hairy signals)and impulse-like noise(single signals with anomalous movements in peak and valley areas).Based on this,a least squares filtering method is employed to preprocess strain signals.To precisely eliminate noise or outliers in strain signals,we propose a novel variational model to generate step signals instead of strain ones.Expert judgments are employed to classify the generated signals.Based on the classification labels,whether the aircraft is structurally healthy is accurately judged.By taking the generated step count vectors and labels as an input,a discriminative neural network is proposed to realize automatic signal discrimination.The network output means whether the aircraft structure is healthy or not.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient,as well as achieves more satisfactory results than other peers.

Features of long-term health monitored strains of a bridge with wavelet analysis

This paper analyses the five years’ monitored strains collected from a long-term health monitoring system installed on a bridge with wavelet transform.In the analysis,the monitored strains are pre-processed,features of the monitored data are summarized briefly.The influences of the base functions on the results of wavelet analysis are studied simultaneously.The results show that the db wavelet is a good mother wavelet function in the analysis,and the order N should be larger than 20,but less than 46 in decomposing the monitored strains of the bridge.According to the strain variation features of concrete bridge,the proper decomposition level is 4 in the wavelet multi-resolution analysis.With the present method,the strains caused by random loads and daily sunlight can be accurately extracted from the monitored strains.The decomposed components of the monitored strains show that the amplitudes of the strains caused by random loads,daily sunlight,and annual temperature effect,are about 5 με,25 με,and 50 με respectively.The structural response under random load is smaller than the other parts.
