Most in-service highway bridge structures aresuspected to be undergoing deterioration processes induced by the physical and harsh environmental changes. Therefore, timely maintenance with a robust SHM system having capability of early detection of impending damage is required to prevent catastrophicevents for the public safety with reduced expenses. </p><p> Vibrational modal properties may not be sufficient for detecting early damage in local regions of complex civil infrastructure. Moreover, most of current damage detection methods require reference data which are not always available. There have also been pressing needs for real-time monitoring to prevent sudden catastrophic disasters. This dissertation addresses current challenges and needs identified in existing vibration-based damage detection methods, focusing on wavelet-based reference-free real-time damage identification and subsequent finite element model updating for quantifying damageseverity.</p><p> First, a damage detection method based on a wavelet entropy analysis has been embedded in wireless smart sensor nodes (Imote2) and tested with three-story shear building and a laboratory truss bridge structure. To realize the reference-free damagedetection, a continuous relative wavelet entropy (CRWE)-based damage detectionmethod is also proposed and demonstrated with a laboratory truss bridge structure. Although the reference-free CRWE method can detect damage locations without reference data,computational times put limitations in its applications to a real-time SHM system. To make real-time monitoring feasible in SHM systems, a statistical referencefree real-time damage detection method has been developed based on the wavelet packet transformation and log likelihood ratios.</p><p> Second, finite element model updating has been conducted to quantify the level of damage at the identified damage locations. For an identification model, fracturemechanics based cracked beam element with local flexibility coefficients and rotationalspring stiffness coefficients have been used. After experimental modal testing of the laboratory truss structure, modal properties are extracted by the output-only frequency domain decomposition method. Because of limited number of sensors, mode shapes ofeach panel of the structure are separately extracted and combined by the interface DOF-by-DOF decentralized modal identification method. Modal properties (i.e. mode shapes and natural frequencies) are used to quantify physical damage level in term of crackdepth.</p><p> In summary, this dissertation proposed wavelet-based robust and viable real-time reference-free damage localization methods and conducted damage quantification by finite element model updating. The proposed method has been experimentally verified and evaluated using test-beds that include a three-story shear building structure and a laboratory truss bridge structure.</p> 2012-05-01 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1333676433 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1333676433 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
