    Discrete Numerical Study on Type II Fracture of Partially Detached Concrete Panels in Cold Region

    Huayi Zhang1, Maobin Song2, Lei Shen1,*, Nizar Faisal Alkayem1, Maosen Cao3

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 55-75, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.052869 - 15 November 2024

    Abstract The concrete panel of earth-rock dams in cold regions tends to crack due to the combination effect of non-uniform foundation settlement, ice expansion loads, and freeze-thaw damage. In this work, simulations are designed to investigate the effects of freeze-thaw damage degrees on the fracture behavior caused by the partial detachment and ice expansion loads on concrete panels. Results show that the range of detached panels and freeze-thaw damage degree are the dominant factors that affect the overall load-bearing capacity of the panel and the failure cracking modes, whereas the panel slope is a secondary factor.

    Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on the Markov Transition Field and SE-IShufflenetV2 Model

    Chaozhi Cai*, Tiexin Xu, Jianhua Ren, Yingfang Xue

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 125-144, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.052813 - 15 November 2024

    Abstract A bearing fault diagnosis method based on the Markov transition field (MTF) and SEnet (SE)-IShufflenetV2 model is proposed in this paper due to the problems of complex working conditions, low fault diagnosis accuracy, and poor generalization of rolling bearing. Firstly, MTF is used to encode one-dimensional time series vibration signals and convert them into time-dependent and unique two-dimensional feature images. Then, the generated two-dimensional dataset is fed into the SE-IShufflenetV2 model for training to achieve fault feature extraction and classification. This paper selects the bearing fault datasets from Case Western Reserve University and Paderborn University… More >

    Zhao-Jun Zhang1, Wen-Wei Wang1,2,*, Jing-Shui Zhen1, Bo-Cheng Li1, De-Cheng Cai1, Yang-Yang Du1, Hui Huang2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 105-123, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.052506 - 15 November 2024

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the moment redistribution in continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-concrete composite slabs caused by concrete cracking and steel bar yielding in the negative bending moment zone. An experimental bending moment redistribution test was conducted on continuous GFRP-concrete composite slabs, and a calculation method based on the conjugate beam method was proposed. The composite slabs were formed by combining GFRP profiles with a concrete layer and supported on steel beams to create two-span continuous composite slab specimens. Two methods, epoxy resin bonding, and stud connection, were used to connect the composite… More >

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.18, No.6, pp. 871-889, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.052683 - 20 September 2024

    Abstract In the bridge technical condition assessment standards, the evaluation of bridge conditions primarily relies on the defects identified through manual inspections, which are determined using the comprehensive hierarchical analysis method. However, the relationship between the defects and the technical condition of the bridges warrants further exploration. To address this situation, this paper proposes a machine learning-based intelligent diagnosis model for the technical condition of highway bridges. Firstly, collect the inspection records of highway bridges in a certain region of China, then standardize the severity of diverse defects in accordance with relevant specifications. Secondly, in order… More >

    Abstract The possibility of determining the integrity of a real structure subjected to non-invasive and non-destructive monitoring, such as that carried out by a series of accelerometers placed on the structure, is certainly a goal of extreme and current interest. In the present work, the results obtained from the processing of experimental data of a real structure are shown. The analyzed structure is a lattice structure approximately 9 m high, monitored with 18 uniaxial accelerometers positioned in pairs on 9 different levels.

    Abstract Delamination is a prevalent type of damage in composite laminate structures. Its accumulation degrades structural performance and threatens the safety and integrity of aircraft. This study presents a method for the quantitative identification of delamination identification in composite materials, leveraging distributed optical fiber sensors and a model updating approach. Initially, a numerical analysis is performed to establish a parameterized finite element model of the composite plate. Then, this model subsequently generates a database of strain responses corresponding to damage of varying sizes and locations. The radial basis function neural network surrogate model is then constructed More >
