The approximate model is addressed to include the operational and surrounding condition in the assessment. The procedure is split into two stages, the training and detecting phase. During training phase, a so-called response surface is built from training data using polynomial regression and radial basis function approximation approaches. The response surface is used to detect the damage in structure during detection phase. The results show that the response surface model is able to detect moderate damage in one of bridge supports while the temperatures and train velocities are varied.

Also, a stochastic damage identification approach based on changes of eigenfrequencies is proposed. The proposed algorithms are verified using catenary poles of electrified railways track. The proposed damage features overcome the limitation of frequency-based damage identification methods available in the literature, which are valid to detect damage in structures to Level 1 only. Changes in eigenfrequencies of cantilever structures are enough to identify possible local damage at Level 3, i.e., to cover damage detection, localization, and quantification. The proposed algorithms identified the damage with relatively small errors, even at a high noise level.

As the successful application of numerical models depends on their suitability to represent the behavior related to the intended use, they should be validated by experimentally obtained results. If the discrepancy between numerically derived and experimentally obtained results is not acceptable, a model revision or a revision of the experiment need to be considered. Model revision is divided into two classes, the model updating and the basic revision of the numerical model. The presented thesis is related to a special branch of model updating, the vibration-based model updating. Vibration-based model updating is a tool to improve the correlation of the numerical model by adjusting uncertain model input parameters by means of results extracted from vibration tests. Evidently, uncertainties related to the experiment, the numerical model, or the applied numerical solving strategies can influence the correctness of the identified model input parameters. The reduction of uncertainties for two critical problems and the quantification of uncertainties related to the investigation of several nominally identical structures are the main emphases of this thesis. First, the reduction of uncertainties by optimizing reference sensor positions is considered. The presented approach relies on predicted power spectral amplitudes and an initial finite element model as a basis to define the assessment criterion for predefined sensor positions. In combination with geometry-based design variables, which represent the sensor positions, genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms are applied. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a numerical benchmark study of a simply supported beam and a case study of a real test specimen. Furthermore, the theory of determining the predicted power spectral amplitudes is validated with results from vibration tests. Second, the possibility to reduce uncertainties related to an inappropriate assignment for numerically derived and experimentally obtained modes is investigated. In the context of vibration-based model updating, the correct pairing is essential. The most common criterion for indicating corresponding mode shapes is the modal assurance criterion. Unfortunately, this criterion fails in certain cases and is not reliable for automatic approaches. Hence, an alternative criterion, the energy-based modal assurance criterion, is proposed. This criterion combines the mathematical characteristic of orthogonality with the physical properties of the structure by modal strain energies. A numerical example and a case study with experimental data are presented to show the advantages of the proposed energy-based modal assurance criterion in comparison to the traditional modal assurance criterion. Third, the application of optimization strategies combined with information theory based objective functions is analyzed for the purpose of stochastic model updating. This approach serves as an alternative to the common sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. Their success depends strongly on the defined initial model input parameters. In contrast, approaches based on optimization strategies can be more flexible. It can be demonstrated, that the investigated nature inspired optimization strategies in combination with Bhattacharyya distance and Kullback-Leibler divergence are appropriate. The obtained accuracies and the respective computational effort are comparable with sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. The application of model updating procedures to improve the quality and suitability of a numerical model is always related to additional costs. The presented innovative approaches will contribute to reduce and quantify uncertainties within a vibration-based model updating process. Therefore, the increased benefit can compensate the additional effort, which is necessary to apply model updating procedures. N2 - Eine typische Anwendung von numerischen Modellen und den damit verbundenen numerischen Lösungsstrategien ist das Entwerfen oder Ertüchtigen von Strukturen und das Optimieren von Entwürfen zur Verbesserung spezifischer Eigenschaften. Der erfolgreiche Einsatz von numerischen Modellen ist abhängig von der Eignung des Modells bezüglich der vorgesehenen Anwendung. Deshalb ist eine Validierung mit experimentellen Ergebnissen sinnvoll. Zeigt die Validierung inakzeptable Unterschiede zwischen den Ergebnissen des numerischen Modells und des Experiments, sollte das numerische Modell oder das experimentelle Vorgehen verbessert werden. Für die Modellverbesserung gibt es zwei verschiedene Möglichkeiten, zum einen die Kalibrierung des Modells und zum anderen die grundsätzliche Änderung von Modellannahmen. Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Kalibrierung von numerischen Modellen auf der Grundlage von Schwingungsversuchen. Modellkalibrierung ist eine Methode zur Verbesserung der Korrelation zwischen einem numerischen Modell und einer realen Struktur durch Anpassung von Modelleingangsparametern unter Verwendung von experimentell ermittelten Daten. Unsicherheiten bezüglich des numerischen Modells, des Experiments und der angewandten numerischen Lösungsstrategie beeinflussen entscheidend die erzielbare Qualität der identifizierten Modelleingangsparameter. Die Schwerpunkte dieser Dissertation sind die Reduzierung von Unsicherheiten für zwei kritische Probleme und die Quantifizierung von Unsicherheiten extrahiert aus Experimenten nominal gleicher Strukturen. Der erste Schwerpunkt beschäftigt sich mit der Reduzierung von Unsicherheiten durch die Optimierung von Referenzsensorpositionen. Das Bewertungskriterium für vordefinierte Sensorpositionen basiert auf einer theoretischen Abschätzung von Amplituden der Spektraldichtefunktion und einem dazugehörigen Finite Elemente Modell. Die Bestimmung der optimalen Konfiguration erfolgt durch eine Anwendung von Optimierungsmethoden basierend auf genetischen Algorithmen und Schwarmintelligenzen. Die Anwendbarkeit dieser Methoden wurde anhand einer numerischen Studie an einem einfach gelagerten Balken und einem real existierenden komplexen Versuchskörper nachgewiesen. Mit Hilfe einer experimentellen Untersuchung wird die Abschätzung der statistischen Eigenschaften der Antwortspektraldichtefunktionen an diesem Versuchskörper validiert. Im zweiten Schwerpunkt konzentrieren sich die Untersuchungen auf die Reduzierung von Unsicherheiten, hervorgerufen durch ungeeignete Kriterien zur Eigenschwingformzuordnung. Diese Zuordnung ist entscheidend für Modellkalibrierungen basierend auf Schwingungsversuchen. Das am Häufigsten verwendete Kriterium zur Zuordnung ist das modal assurance criterion. In manchen Anwendungsfällen ist dieses Kriterium jedoch kein zuverlässiger Indikator. Das entwickelte alternative Kriterium, das energy-based modal assurance criterion, kombiniert das mathematische Merkmal der Orthogonalität mit den physikalischen Eigenschaften der untersuchten Struktur mit Hilfe von modalen Formänderungsarbeiten. Ein numerisches Beispiel und eine Sensitivitätsstudie mit experimentellen Daten zeigen die Vorteile des vorgeschlagenen energiebasierten Kriteriums im Vergleich zum traditionellen modal assurance criterion. Die Anwendung von Optimierungsstrategien auf stochastische Modellkalibrierungsverfahren wird im dritten Schwerpunkt analysiert. Dabei werden Verschiedenheitsmaße der Informationstheorie zur Definition von Zielfunktionen herangezogen. Dieser Ansatz stellt eine Alternative zu herkömmlichen Verfahren dar, welche auf gradientenbasierten Sensitivitätsmatrizen zwischen Eingangs- und Ausgangsgrößen beruhen. Deren erfolgreicher Einsatz ist abhängig von den Anfangswerten der Eingangsgrößen, wobei die vorgeschlagenen Optimierungsstrategien weniger störanfällig sind. Der Bhattacharyya Abstand und die Kullback-Leibler Divergenz als Zielfunktion, kombiniert mit stochastischen Optimierungsverfahren, erwiesen sich als geeignet. Bei vergleichbarem Rechenaufwand konnten ähnliche Genauigkeiten wie bei den Modellkalibrierungsverfahren, die auf Sensitivitätsmatrizen basieren, erzielt werden. Die Anwendung von Modellkalibrierungsverfahren zur Verbesserung der Eignung eines numerischen Modells für einen bestimmten Zweck ist mit einem Mehraufwand verbunden. Die präsentierten innovativen Verfahren tragen zu einer Reduzierung und Quantifizierung von Unsicherheiten innerhalb eines Modellkalibrierungsprozesses basierend auf Schwingungsversuchen bei. Mit dem zusätzlich generierten Nutzen kann der Mehraufwand, der für eine Modellkalibrierung notwendig ist, nachvollziehbar begründet werden.

The present study proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM) and a support vector machine (SVM) integrated with the response surface methodology (RSM) to solve the complexity in optimization and prediction of the ethyl ester and methyl ester production process. The novel hybrid models of ELM-RSM and ELM-SVM are further used as a case study to estimate the yield of methyl and ethyl esters through a trans-esterification process from waste cooking oil (WCO) based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The results of the prediction phase were also compared with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which were recently developed by the second author of this study. Based on the results, an ELM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9815 and 0.9863 for methyl and ethyl esters, respectively, had a high estimation capability compared with that for SVM, ANNs, and ANFIS. Accordingly, the maximum production yield was obtained in the case of using ELM-RSM of 96.86% for ethyl ester at a temperature of 68.48 °C, a catalyst value of 1.15 wt. %, mixing intensity of 650.07 rpm, and an alcohol to oil molar ratio (A/O) of 5.77; for methyl ester, the production yield was 98.46% at a temperature of 67.62 °C, a catalyst value of 1.1 wt. %, mixing intensity of 709.42 rpm, and an A/O of 6.09. Therefore, ELM-RSM increased the production yield by 3.6% for ethyl ester and 3.1% for methyl ester, compared with those for the experimental data.

Bei der Untersuchung einzelner Bauwerke wurden teilweise recht große Schwankungen des dynamischen Verhaltens im Verlauf der Jahreszeiten festgestellt. Um diese Beobachtungen zu präzisieren, wurden an zwei ausgewählten Walzträger-in-Beton-Brücken über den Zeitraum von 15 Monaten Beschleunigungsmessungen durchgeführt. Die gewonnenen Daten wurden mit der Stochastic Subspace Methode, die im ersten Teil der Arbeit näher erläutert wird, ausgewertet. Es konnte für alle Eigenmoden ein Absinken der Eigenfrequenz bei steigender Temperatur beobachtet werden. Um die Ursachen hierfür genauer zu untersuchen, wurde für eine der beiden Brücken ein Finite-Elemente-Modell mit dem Programm SLang erstellt. Mittels einer Sensitivitätsanalyse wurden die für das Schwingverhalten maßgebenden Systemeigenschaften identifiziert. Die anschließend durchgeführte Strukturoptimierung unter Nutzung des genetischen Algorithmus sowie des adaptiven Antwortflächenverfahrens konnte die Temperaturabhängigkeit einzelner Materialparameter aufzeigen, die zumindest eine Ursache für Schwankungen der Eigenfrequenzen darstellen.

We formulate the problem as a multi-criterial optimization problem, where the compliance is computed for each load case. Then, the Epsilon constraint method (method proposed by Chankong and Haimes, 1971) is adapted. The strategy of this method is based on the concept of minimizing the maximum compliance resulting from the critical load case while the other remaining compliances are considered in the constraints. In each iteration, the compliances of all load cases are computed and only the maximum one is minimized. The topology optimization process is switching from one load to another according to the variation of the resulting compliance. In this work we will motivate and explain the proposed methodology and provide some numerical examples.

A1 - Habte, Bedilu A1 - Lahmer, Tom A1 - Urgessa, Girum T1 - Topologically preoptimized ground structure (TPOGS) for the optimization of 3D RC buildings JF - Asian Journal of Civil Engineering N2 - As an optimization that starts from a randomly selected structure generally does not guarantee reasonable optimality, the use of a systemic approach, named the ground structure, is widely accepted in steel-made truss and frame structural design. However, in the case of reinforced concrete (RC) structural optimization, because of the orthogonal orientation of structural members, randomly chosen or architect-sketched framing is used. Such a one-time fixed layout trend, in addition to its lack of a systemic approach, does not necessarily guarantee optimality. In this study, an approach for generating a candidate ground structure to be used for cost or weight minimization of 3D RC building structures with included slabs is developed. A multiobjective function at the floor optimization stage and a single objective function at the frame optimization stage are considered. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is employed for selecting the optimal ground structure. This method enables generating a simple, yet potential, real-world representation of topologically preoptimized ground structure while both structural and main architectural requirements are considered. This is supported by a case study for different floor domain sizes.

This is accomplished by considering use of non-linear material behavior, notably path dependent thermal hysteresis behavior in the elastic properties. Primary novel factors of this work center on two aspects. 1. Broad material characterization and mechanistic material understanding, giving insight into why this class of material behaves in characteristic manners. 2. Development and implementation of a thermal hysteresis material model and its use to determine impact on overall macroscopic stress predictions. Results highlight microcracking evolution and behavior as the dominant mechanism for material property complexity in this class of materials. Additionally, it was found that for the cases studied, thermal hysteresis behavior impacts relevant peak stress predictions of a heavy-duty diesel particulate filter undergoing a drop-to-idle regeneration by less than ~15% for all conditions tested. It is also found that path independent heating curves may be utilized for a linear solution assumption to simplify analysis. This work brings forth a newly conceived concept of a 3 state, 4 path, thermally induced microcrack evolution process; demonstrates experimental behavior that is consistent with the proposed mechanisms, develops a mathematical framework that describes the process and quantifies the impact in a real world application space.

However, the effect of GNRs under shear strain, which is also one of the main strain effect, has not been studied systematically yet. In this work, we employ reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) to the systematical study of the thermal conductivity of GNRs (with model size of 4 nm × 15 nm) under the shear strain. Our studies show that the thermal conductivity of GNRs is not sensitive to the shear strain, and the thermal conductivity decreases only 12–16% before the pristine structure is broken. Furthermore, the phonon frequency and the change of the micro-structure of GNRs, such as band angel and bond length, are analyzed to explore the tendency of thermal conductivity. The results show that the main influence of shear strain is on the in-plane phonon density of states (PDOS), whose G band (higher frequency peaks) moved to the low frequency, thus the thermal conductivity is decreased. The unique thermal properties of GNRs under shear strains suggest their great potentials for graphene nanodevices and great potentials in the thermal managements and thermoelectric applications.

The research indicates that the quality of built environments plays an important role in reducing mental disorders and overall health. The structure and shape of the city are considered as one of the factors influencing happiness and health in urban communities and the type of the daily activities of citizens. The aim of this study was to promote physical activity in the main structure of the city via urban design in a way that the main form and morphology of the city can encourage citizens to move around and have physical activity within the city. Functional, physical, cultural-social, and perceptual-visual features are regarded as the most important and effective criteria in increasing physical activities in urban spaces, based on literature review. The environmental quality of urban spaces and their role in the physical activities of citizens in urban spaces were assessed by using the questionnaire tool and analytical network process (ANP) of structural equation modeling. Further, the space syntax method was utilized to evaluate the role of the spatial integration of urban spaces on improving physical activities. Based on the results, consideration of functional diversity, spatial flexibility and integration, security, and the aesthetic and visual quality of urban spaces plays an important role in improving the physical health of citizens in urban spaces. Further, more physical activities, including motivation for walking and the sense of public health and happiness, were observed in the streets having higher linkage and space syntax indexes with their surrounding texture.
