Research on Damage Identification of Suspension Bridge by Wavelet Analysis of the Strain Mode

Article Preview

Abstract:

The suspension bridge contained damage was made as the object of study. Three different damage conditions for suspension bridge were calculated(conditions 1, the left midspan contains a damaged zone, condition 2, the left end bay contains two damaged zone, condition 3, both sides midspan contains a damaged zone). Using the wavelet analysis theory, solving strain modal parameters of the suspension bridge with cracks by means of Lanczos method. Then the cracks location of the suspension bridges could be identified by the maximum of wavelet coefficients. It can be concluded that the method using wavelet analysis of strain mode is more accurate and more effective through the calculation and analysis of the suspension bridge damage identification. The method can be useful in the suspension bridge damage identification and diagnosis.
