UQSay #29

The twenty-ninth UQSay seminar on UQ, DACE and related topics, organized by L2S, MSSMAT, LMT and EDF R&D, will take place online on Thursday afternoon, May 6, 2021.

2–3 PM — Stefano Mariani (DICA @ Politecnico di Milano) — [slides]


Online damage detection and model updating via proper orthogonal decomposition and recursive Bayesian filters

An approach based on the synergistic use of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and Kalman filtering is proposed for the online health monitoring of damaged structures. The reduced-order model of the structure is obtained during the initial training stage of monitoring; afterward, effective estimations of structural damage are provided online by tracking the evolution in time of stiffness parameters and projection bases handled in the model order reduction procedure. Such tracking is accomplished via two Kalman filters: a first one to deal with the time evolution of a joint state vector, gathering the reduced-order state and the stiffness terms degraded by damage; a second one to deal with the update of the reduced-order model in case of damage evolution. Both filters exploit the information conveyed by measurements of the structural response to the external excitations. Focusing on multi-story shear building, the capability and performance of the proposed approach are assessed in terms of tracked variation of the stiffness terms, identified damage location and speed-up of the whole health monitoring procedure.

Joint work with Saeed Eftekhar Azam, Giovanni Capellari, Francesco Caimmi.

Organizing committee: Julien Bect (L2S), Emmanuel Vazquez (L2S), Didier Clouteau (MSSMAT), Filippo Gatti (MSSMAT), Fernando Lopez Caballero (MSSMAT), Amélie Fau (LMT), Bertrand Iooss (EDF R&D).

Practical details: the seminar will be held online using Microsoft Teams.

If you want to attend this seminar (or any of the forthcoming online UQSay seminars), and if you do not already have access to the UQSay group on Teams, simply send an email and you will be invited. Please specify which email address the invitation must be sent to (this has to be the address associated with your Teams account).

You will find the link to the seminar on the "General" UQSay channel on Teams, approximately 15 minutes before the beginning.

The technical side of things: you can use Teams either directly from you web browser or using the "fat client", which is available for most platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android & iOS). We strongly recommend the latter option whenever possible. Please give it a try before the seminar to anticipate potential problems.
