Firstly, the damage patterns are defined based on dynamical calculation. The analysis of damage pattern reveals that the damage patterns caused by different damage locations have inherent distinctness, while the damage extent only linearly amplifies the damage pattern curves. And 4th, 6th and 7th order frequencies are canceled from the patterns because of their insensitiveness to cable damage. Then a MLP network is designed by trail-error method to describe the 7-D mapping space of damage pattern. Identification results prove that the properly organized MLP can grasp the damage pattern and identify the damage location.展开更多

First, the basic knowledge of the Unascertained Sets was introduced briefly. Second, the unascertained measure was defined and the comprehensive assessment model was set up. Then the method was introduced to the assessment of the system reliability of a cable-stayed bridge located in Tianjin City. Engineering practices shows that the method can complete the assessment systematically and scientifically without any assumption. The work has significance in theory and practice for the comprehensive assessment of bridge engineering.展开更多
