  • 将未知环境扰动建模为具有长时相关性的状态空间高斯过程。
  • 在单个试验结构上实现精准损伤检测与环境变化恢复,真阳性率显著提升。
  • 适合处理无直接测量的环境变量,尤其适用于风电场等大型分布式系统。

在基于群体的结构健康监测(PBSHM)中,如何稳健处理环境与运行变量(EOV)仍是开放挑战,尤其当这些信号无法直接测量时。传统方法采用投影技术剔除健康特征数据中的主成分,但若损伤发生在与EOV相似的方差主导方向上,会连同损伤信号一并消除。本文提出一种新思路:利用未测EOV的缓慢变化特性,将其建模为状态空间高斯过程,通过卡尔曼滤波实现$/mathcal{O}(T)$的可计算推断。构建了鲁棒的分层贝叶斯框架,结合拉普拉斯近似,实现群体层面的潜变量EOV识别与无EOV残差特征提取。首先在文献中的单个实验室结构(受热力影响)上验证,能有效检测损伤并重建环境信号;随后应用于模拟的九台风力涡轮机海上风电场,部署时间错位且存在损伤,在相同误报率下相比投影法与共整合基准方法,真阳性率大幅提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The robust treatment of environmental and operational variability (EOV) is an open challenge in population-based structural health monitoring (PBSHM). The difficulty is compounded in the case that the EOV signals are unmeasured. A common approach in conventional SHM is to apply \emph{projection-based} methods that discard subspaces of healthy feature data, reasoning that the EOV signal dominates the variance of the measured features. However, a common pitfall of projection-based approaches is that when damage acts close to the same variance-dominant direction, damage sensitivity is removed along with the EOV. An alternative identifying assumption for the removal of particular unmeasured EOVs is slowness; the latent EOV process is characterised by its long temporal correlation. In this paper, the latent EOV is cast as a state-space Gaussian process, enabling tractable $\mathcal{O}(T)$ inference via a Kalman filter. A robust hierarchical Bayesian identification framework is developed that enables population-level identification of latent EOVs and EOV-free residual features, using a Laplace approximation. The approach is first validated on a single laboratory-scale benchmark structure from the literature, subject to thermal EOVs, demonstrating robust damage detection and EOV recovery. The method is then applied to a simulated nine-turbine offshore wind farm with staggered deployment and damage, where it delivers a substantial true-positive uplift over projection and cointegration-based baselines at matched false-positive rates.
