Abstract
This paper aims to introduce a strain-interfaced local digital twin solution for a welded circular hollow section (CHS) X-joint subjected to brace axial loading. The solution comprises a series of machine learning algorithms to (1) identify the presence of cracks, (2) locate the cracks and (3) quantify the extent of cracking. These algorithms make use of strain readings in the vicinity of the crack to perform the diagnosis, representing a remote sensing methodology, thereby eliminating physical inspections. The validation of the proposed methodology includes two experiments – one each in the high and low cycle fatigue regime – demonstrating its wide scale applicability. The success of these experiments highlights the strong potential of affordable strain sensors in crack diagnosis assessments for CHS joints.
