An Efficient Damage Identification Method for Simply Supported Beams Based on Strain Energy Information Entropy

Concrete simply supported beams are widely used in small- and medium-sized bridges. Hinged slabs and joints are damaged in service easily, as they are the main load-carrying members of bridge. In this paper, using the high sensitivity and strong antinoise characteristics of strain energy to damage,...

description Concrete simply supported beams are widely used in small- and medium-sized bridges. Hinged slabs and joints are damaged in service easily, as they are the main load-carrying members of bridge. In this paper, using the high sensitivity and strong antinoise characteristics of strain energy to damage, a strain energy information entropy index is proposed for identifying local damage in hinge joints and hinged slabs. Moreover, a new damage index of the local strain energy entropy function is constructed according to the strain energy of a hinge joint element and its surrounding elements. A simply supported beam model is established to verify the effectiveness of the proposed index. The numerical simulation results show that the proposed damage index of hinge joints can accurately locate and quantify the degree of damage of single-hinge joints and multihinge joints. The improved modal strain energy information entropy index is sensitive to single-hinge slab damage and can accurately identify damage with noise levels of 5% and 10%.
