Growth of vehicle traffic density can be observed in many countries all over the world. This accretion is caused by world-wide population growth on the one hand, but also by increasing freight volumes and, thus, freight transports on the streets on the other hand.
This increased exposure becomes more and more of a problem for the civil infrastructure such as bridges. Many of these bridges are nowadays stressed to their limits by higher loads than they were originally designed for and/or operating times beyond the initially predicted life span. This raises questions about structural safety and lifetime prediction, of course, and therefore illustrates the need for accurate structural monitoring.
Since the lifetime of bridge structures is primarily influenced by their traffic loading, an accurate identification of load configurations over the whole length of a structure is most desirable.
In this paper, a method for vehicle load identification is proposed. It involves Bayesian Analysis and (quasi-)static importance functions in order to estimate vehicle positions, velocities and weights. The structure is modeled with finite elements in order to generate model predictions for different load configurations. The model predictions are compared to the actual measured data to identify the most probable loading configuration for that measurement. This involves the use of enhanced Monte Carlo simulations such as MCMC to reduce the computational effort. The measured data from different kinds of sensors can (and should) be combined for accuracy gain – in this case a combination of measured displacements and inclinations.
Since the measurements take place over some time during the passage of the vehicle, these estimations are carried out for several time instants for which the estimation is carried out. The advantage of using Bayesian Updating Method is the embodied learning effect leading to an improvement of the estimation when adding new information in a new calculation step.
Using the estimates for the loading conditions of a bridge structure as well as measurements of the structural responses, Bayesian analysis is again used in order to estimate localized structural parameters such as Young's modulus or Moments of Inertia in form of probability density functions yielding most probable values for the parameters.
Considering the difficulties for load identification close to the support poles of the bridge and therefore for the proposed structural parameter identification procedure, it is clear that this problem is ill posed. Bayesian regularization methods also have proven to be very effective when handling ill posed problems.
In this work, a probabilistic framework for identification of traffic loads on concrete Bridge structures is presented using data from a FE structural model in combination with a finite volume approach for traffic load modelling. The identification approach uses Bayesian Inference to identify traffic loads from measured sensor data from travelling load experiments performed at BAM. The work focuses on the load identification part of the Framework utilizing global structural response measurements only. The obtained information on traffic loads can be forwarded to further analysis such as fatigue and structure state estimation or model updating.
FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data usage is one of the main principals that many of the research and funding organizations include in their strategic plans, which means that following the main principals of FAIR data is required in many research projects. The definition of data being FAIR is very general, and when implementing that for a specific application or project or even setting a standardized procedure within a working group, a company or a research community, many challenges arise. In this contribution, an overview about our experience with different methods, tools and procedures is outlined.
We begin with a motivation on potential use cases for the applications of FAIR data with increasing complexity starting from a reproducible research paper over collaborative projects with multiple participants such as Round-Robin tests up to data-based models within standardization codes, applications in machine learning or parameter estimation of physics-based simulation models.
In a second part, different options for structuring the data are discussed. On the one hand, this includes a discussion on how to define actual data structures and in particular metadata schema, and on the other hand, two different systems for storing the data are discussed. The first one is the openBIS system, which is an open-source Lab notebook and PostgreSQL based data management system. A second option are a semantic representations using RDF based ontologies for the domain of interest.
In a third section, requirements for workflow tools to automate data processing are discussed and their integration into reproducible data analysis is presented with an outlook on required information to be stored as metadata in the database.
Finally, the presented procedures are exemplarily demonstrated for the calibration of a temperature dependent constitutive model for additively manufactured mortar. Metadata schemata for a rheological measurement setup are derived and implemented in an openBIS database. After a short review of a potential numerical model predicting the structural build-up behaviour, the automatic workflow to use the stored data for model parameter estimation is demonstrated.

Concrete is a complex material. Its properties evolve over time, especially at early age, and are dependent on environmental conditions, i.e. temperature and moisture conditions, as well as the composition of the material.
This leads to a variety of macroscopic phenomena such as hydration/solidification/hardening, creep and shrinkage, thermal strains, damage and inelastic deformations. Most of these phenomena are characterized by specific set of model assumptions and often an additive decomposition of strains into elastic, plastic, shrinkage and creep components is performed. Each of these phenomena are investigated separately and a number of respective independent models have been designed. The interactions are then accounted for by adding appropriate correction factors or additional models for the particular interaction. This paper discusses the importance of reconsider even in the experimental phase the model assumptions required to generalize the experimental data into models used in design codes. It is especially underlined that the complex macroscopic behaviour of concrete is strongly influenced by its multiscale and multiphyscis nature and two examples (shrinkage and fatigue) of interacting phenomena are discussed.
Using continuum damage mechanics (CDM) for lifetime prediction requires numerical integration of evolving damage until the onset of failure. The primary challenge for the simulation of structural fatigue failure is caused by the enormous computational costs due to cycle-by-cycle temporal integration throughout the whole loading history, which is in the order of 103–107 cycles. As a consequence, most approaches circumvent this problem and use empirical methods such as Wöhler curves. They are well suited for approximating the lifetime, but they are not capable to capture a realistic degradation of the material including redistribution of stresses. The main objective of the paper is to provide a technique for finite element (FE) simulations of structures under fatigue loading while reducing computational costs.
A Fourier transformation-based temporal integration (FTTI) scheme is proposed, which adapts the conventional FE method for modeling the viscoplastic deterioration in a structure subjected to cyclic loading. The response fields are represented by a Fourier series which assumes a temporal scale separation: a microchronological (short time) scale arises from the oscillatory loading and a macrochronological (long time) scale is due to the slow material relaxation resulting from yielding and damage evolution. The original dynamic boundary value problem (BVP) is approximated by the stationary BVP on the microchronological scale. Alternation of the displacement field on the macrochronological scale is correlated with evolution of the history variables by means of a high order adaptive cycle jump method. Performance and significant acceleration of the FE simulations is demonstrated at different loading scenarios for a constitutive damage model where the progressive damage accumulation is driven by viscoplastic yielding.
In der aktuellen Projektphase liegt der Fokus auf der Datenaufnahme, -bearbeitung und -speiche-rung mit dem Ziel, automatisierte Auswerteverfahren einsetzen zu können. Aktuell wurden primär punktuelle Messungen an ausgewählten Messtagen aufgenommen. Die Systeme sollen so weiter-entwickelt werden, dass sie sich auch für kontinuierliche Messungen im Rahmen von Monitoring-aufgaben eignen.
Ein wichtiger Fokus bei der Auswertung ist die Kombination mit numerischen Modellen, die mithilfe von Bayesian Update Verfahren und den aufgenommenen Messdaten kalibriert und im Verlauf der Monitoringaufgabe angepasst werden sollen. Insbesondere sollen auch zeitabhängige Modelle, die eine zeitliche Entwicklung von Struktureigenschaften beinhalten (Kriechen, Schwinden, Ermüdung, Korrosion) dazu verwendet werden, die zukünftige Performance der Struktur bewerten zu können. Basierend darauf werden dann Konzepte zur Planung von Inspektion und Wartung erstellt.
In materials and component research, artificial intelligence methodologies will lead to massive upheavals in the coming years. The processes of material development, material processing, lifetime prediction and material characterization will change significantly. By combining AI methods and new forms of knowledge representation, the data-based management of product life cycles will take on new qualities. To address this emerging field of research Fraunhofer IWM set up the online workshop »AI Methods for Fatigue Behavior Assessment and Component Lifetime Prediction«
