Abstract
In this paper, PSV-500 laser vibration detector and 941B vibration pick-up are used to measure the ambient vibration of an actual aqueduct in China, and the peak picking method is used to identify the modal parameters of the aqueduct. The finite element model of the aqueduct is established, and a model updating method based on multi-objective optimization algorithm is proposed. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the parameters to be updated are selected. The model is updated by the fast non dominated sorting genetic algorithm, and the Pareto optimal solution set of the multi-objective optimization problem is obtained. The comparison between the measured and calculated results shows that the results of static displacement and modal parameters are in good agreement with the measured values. The result of the research shows that the static and dynamic finite element model updating method based on multi-objective optimization can achieve satisfactory results for long-span aqueduct structure, and the updated finite element model can accurately and comprehensively simulate the actual structure.
Highlights
According to different construction materials, in China, aqueducts can be divided into masonry aqueducts, concrete aqueducts and reinforced concrete aqueducts
The static and dynamic finite element model updating based on multi-objective optimization is proposed and the method is applied to the finite element model updating of masonry aqueduct
According to the displacement time history of each measuring point obtained from the ambient vibration test, the modal parameters of aqueduct structure can be identified by using the auto cross spectrum density method
Summary
According to different construction materials, in China, aqueducts can be divided into masonry aqueducts, concrete aqueducts and reinforced concrete aqueducts. Based on the measured static and dynamic data, many scholars have put forward many effective methods for the finite element model updating of various structures or indoor models [14,15,16,17,18]. Most of these methods use the linear weighted summation method to establish the optimization objective function, that is, each objective vector is given a weight, and each objective component is multiplied by its corresponding weight coefficient and combined into a new objective function. The static and dynamic finite element model updating based on multi-objective optimization is proposed and the method is applied to the finite element model updating of masonry aqueduct
