Structural health monitoring based on the cumulative function and cumulative circle of a defective beam under a moving load

Abstract

A defective structure has been evaluated and identified in beam models’ deflection measurement signals in much research. However, many results have not been optimally exploited and evaluated to find new parameters for data excavation. This manuscript proposes a cumulative welding model and a cumulative circle of deflection signals for a defective beam under the impact of a moving force. Based on this evaluation model, the manuscript recognizes that the speed of the moving force will determine the regression speed of the received datasets, which is considered the basis for showing the working ability of a beam structure with defects. Moreover, the structure’s cumulative regression circle also shows its resilience in that structure after the impact of the load. The development of defects in the structure will depend on both the structure’s level and resilience after each bearing-load cycle. Our research has shown us that the method of evaluation and use of both the cumulative model and cumulative circle from the deflection’s measured value have yielded more results compared to the previous method. This research can evaluate many defects in different situations while simultaneously evaluating many types of structures.
