Identification of modal parameters of long-span bridges under various wind velocities
Tóm tắt
The modal parameters identification of bridges under non-stationary environmental excitation has caught the attention of researchers. This paper studies the non-stationarity of wind velocity, and extracts the time-varying mean wind velocity based on a discrete wavelet transform and recursive quantitative analysis. The calculated turbulence intensity and turbulence integral scale under the non-stationary model are smaller than those under the stationary model, especially the turbulence integral scale. The empirical wavelet transform is used to identify the modal parameters of long-span bridges, and the power spectral density spectrum is proposed as a replacement for the Fourier spectrum as the basis of the frequency band selection. The bridge modal parameters are then compared using the covariance-driven stochastic subspace system identification method (SSI-COV) and the Hilbert transform method based on an improved empirical wavelet transform (EWT-HT). Both methods can accurately identify the modal frequency, and the absolute difference between these two methods is equal to 0.003 Hz. The wind velocity results in a change of less than 1% in the modal frequency. The absolute difference between the modal damping ratios identified using SSI-COV and EWT-HT is significant and can reach 0.587%. The modal damping ratios are positively correlated with the mean wind velocities, which aligns with the quasi-steady assumption. In addition, the applicability of SSI-COV and EWT-HT is also evaluated using the standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and range dispersion indicators. The results show that the EWT-HT is more applicable to the identification of the modal parameters of long-span bridges under non-stationary wind velocities.
