Bio-inspired sensing and actuating architectures for feedback control of civil structures

WSN-Based SHM Optimisation Algorithm for Civil Engineering Structures

With the development of economy and the improvement of architectural aesthetics, civil structure buildings show a trend of diversification and complexity, which brings great challenges to the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of civil structure buildings. In order to optimise the structural health monitoring effect of civil structures, reduce monitoring costs, and improve the ability of civil structures to deal with risks, a civil structure health monitoring method combining Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is proposed. The gated neural network algorithm of modal decomposition is used, and then a wireless sensor network (WSN) civil structure health monitoring model is constructed on this basis. Finally, the application effect of the model is tested and analysed. The results show that the network energy consumption of this model can reach a minimum of 0.05 J, which is 0.05 J less than that of the Gate Recurrent Unit (GRU) model. The minimum loss value is 0.08. Its Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) are 0.03, 0.04, and 0.06, respectively; the prediction error is the smallest, the overall amplitude difference monitored by the model remains at a low level of less than 0.01, and the changes are closest to the real situation. This shows that the model improves the operation efficiency, improves the accuracy of health monitoring, enhances the adaptability of building structural health monitoring to complex structures, provides a new way for the development of building structural health monitoring technology, and is conducive to enhancing civil structures. The safety and stability of buildings promote the high-quality development of civil and structural buildings.
