- 结合桥梁物理方程与递归神经网络,用列车荷载和响应数据识别损伤。

美国铁路货运系统依赖逾10万座铁路桥,平均每1.4英里就有一座,其中钢桥占比超50%。随着基础设施老化与运量增加,早期损伤识别面临挑战。本文提出一种基于物理信息神经网络(PINN)的损伤识别方法,无需大量标注数据,仅利用列车通过时的轮载与桥梁响应作为输入。模型引入线性时变(LTV)桥-车系统的控制微分方程,采用基于自定义龙格-库塔(RK)积分器单元的循环神经网络架构,支持梯度学习。该方法在更新有限元模型的同时,量化损伤程度并定位受损构件。以芝加哥卡鲁梅特桥为案例,模拟多种损伤情景,验证了其高精度与低误报率。此外,该识别流程可无缝集成巡检和无人机调查的先验知识,实现上下文感知的结构状态评估。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Railroad bridges are a crucial component of the U.S. freight rail system, which moves over 40 percent of the nation's freight and plays a critical role in the economy. However, aging bridge infrastructure and increasing train traffic pose significant safety hazards and risk service disruptions. The U.S. rail network includes over 100,000 railroad bridges, averaging one every 1.4 miles of track, with steel bridges comprising over 50% of the network's total bridge length. Early identification and assessment of damage in these bridges remain challenging tasks. This study proposes a physics-informed neural network (PINN) based approach for damage identification in steel truss railroad bridges. The proposed approach employs an unsupervised learning approach, eliminating the need for large datasets typically required by supervised methods. The approach utilizes train wheel load data and bridge response during train crossing events as inputs for damage identification. The PINN model explicitly incorporates the governing differential equations of the linear time-varying (LTV) bridge-train system. Herein, this model employs a recurrent neural network (RNN) based architecture incorporating a custom Runge-Kutta (RK) integrator cell, designed for gradient-based learning. The proposed approach updates the bridge finite element model while also quantifying damage severity and localizing the affected structural members. A case study on the Calumet Bridge in Chicago, Illinois, with simulated damage scenarios, is used to demonstrate the model's effectiveness in identifying damage while maintaining low false-positive rates. Furthermore, the damage identification pipeline is designed to seamlessly integrate prior knowledge from inspections and drone surveys, also enabling context-aware updating and assessment of bridge's condition.
