基于Krogager分解和SVM的极化SAR图像分类

目标分解包括基于Sinclair矩阵的相干目标分解和基于Mueller矩阵的部分相干目标分解,Krogager分解即属于相干目标分解,它可以将任一对称Sinclair矩阵分解为球散射体、二面角散射体和螺旋体3个分量,这是极化合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像特征提取的有效途径。把3个分量的分解系数作为极化散射特征,由其组成样本向量,运用基于统计学习理论的支持向量机(Support Vector Machines,SVM)设计多类分类器,提出了一种极化SAR图像分类算法,并对实测极化SAR数据进行分类实验。结果表明,将Krogager分解和SVM分类器结合起来,对极化SAR图像进行分类是可行和有效的,并且选择不同的参数得到的分类结果差别很大,验证了参数选择在SVM分类器中的重要作用。

Study of Time-Domain Techniques for Modal Parameter Identification of a Long Suspension Bridge with Dense Sensor Arrays

While numerous studies have been published concerning the application of a variety of system identification techniques in conjunction with vibration measurements from civil infrastructure systems, there is a paucity of publications addressing the influence of algorithm-specific control parameters that impact the correct and efficient application of the selected identification scheme. Furthermore, as dense sensor arrays become widely accessible in civil infrastructure applications, voluminous amounts of multichannel data streams are becoming available for processing, thus imposing new demands on identification procedures regarding high-dimensionality (in both the spatial as well as the temporal domains) requirements that may render some methods inapplicable if careful attention is not paid to practical implementation issues. This paper provides a comprehensive study of three time-domain identification algorithms applied in conjunction with the Natural Excitation Technique in order to extract the modal parameters of a newly constructed long-span bridge that was monitored, in its virgin state, over a relatively long period of time with a state-of-the-art dense sensor array. The three methods used are: the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA), the ERA with data correlations, and the least squares algorithm. One of the critical issues in the mentioned algorithms, is selection of the reference degree-of-freedom (DOF). Previous experiences have shown that one cannot rely on a single reference DOF for identification of all modes. Consequently, the aforementioned identification formulations were modified to include multiple reference DOF, simultaneously, or one at a time. An autonomous algorithm was presented to distinguish the genuine structural modes from spurious noise or computational modes. Based on some parameter studies, some useful guidelines for the selection of critical user-selectable parameters are presented.     

Simplified Relationships for Particle-Size Distribution and Permeation Groutability Limits for Soils

The particle-size distribution of soil with mean particle size and fines content are used not only in soil classifications but also in a number of other soil property relationships. In this study, two simple relationships (hyperbolic [tan?h(x)] and S-curve) were investigated to represent the particle size distribution of soils. The parameters of the hyperbolic model were correlated to various soil parameters such as the mean particle size, particle size range, and fines content. There was no direct correlation between Fredlund (four-parameter model) and S-curve model parameters and the soil parameters. The predictions of the two (hyperbolic) and three (S-curve) parameter models were compared to the four-parameter model (unimodal) using limited soil data from the literature and the agreements were good. The hyperbolic model was used to map the Unified Soil Classification System. A recent study had quantified the relationship between the grouting pressure and the fines content in nonplastic soils. Also in the current practice, upper and lower particle-size distribution limits are used in determining the groutability of soils. In this study, the relationship between grouting pressure and fines contents of the soil was generalized using the hyperbolic particle-size distribution model and verified with a groutability study using an acrylamide grout. Based on limited data in the literature, the groutability of soils was defined using a new set of parameters, grouting pressure, fines content, and mean particle size diameter of the soil.     

Nonlinear Analyses of Tuff Masonry Walls Strengthened with Cementitious Matrix-Grid Composites

Previous experimental studies, conducted by some of the authors, on in-plane response of tuff masonry walls strengthened with an innovative cementitious matrix composite grid (CMG) system confirmed that the CMG system could satisfy basic design requirements such as compatibility with the tuff masonry support (i.e., in terms of good bond properties), reversibility of the intervention and strengthening effectiveness. However, very large scatter was found in the experimental outcomes. Micromodeling and some parametric analyses were adopted to understand the contribution of basic material (mortar, tuff blocks and CMG strengthening) and the effect of the workmanship defects on the structural behavior of a natural stone wall. In order to conduct the analyses, finite-element method models of the elements have been compared to experimental data and they were found to be in good agreement with the test data. Significant improvements of strength and in the postpeak response were achieved installing different layouts of the CMG system. However the strengthening intervention had a negligible influence on the initial stiffness of the walls and this means that it has a reduced impact on the behavior of the existing structure.     

Free Vibrations of Pultruded FRP Elements: Mechanical Characterization, Analysis, and Applications

The research shows the results of experimental tests to establish the dynamic parameters of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural elements in the free vibration field. The tests and the analysis consider the simply supported configuration of pultruded elements characterized by glass fiber reinforcement, glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and the thermosetting vinylester matrix subjected to flexural, transversal, and torsional vibrations. Comparison between the experimental results and numerical analysis and the finite element method is also presented. The dynamic response of GFRP structural elements is compared with the behavior of steel and aluminum elements. The results show a good performance, especially in the case of open cross-sectional profiles, considering the advantages deriving from the ratio between the dead load and total load of fiber reinforced composite material. Finally, the use of pultruded GFRP elements for new-built decks is investigated to detect possible resonance phenomena due to human-induced periodic vibrations.     

Aquifer Parameter Estimation for a Constant-Flux Test Performed in a Radial Two-Zone Aquifer

A patchy aquifer or an aquifer with a finite thickness skin can be considered as a radial two-zone aquifer system, which can be characterized by five parameters, i.e., the thickness of the first zone and four aquifer parameters including the transmissivity and storage coefficient for each of the first and second zones. This paper proposes an approach based on an analytical solution of a constant-flux pumping in a confined two-zone aquifer and the simulated annealing algorithm to determine the five parameters simultaneously. The estimated results for the five parameters are fairly good even assuming the aquifer as a single-zone system at the beginning of the data analysis. The estimated results indicate that the first-zone parameters are much more difficult to accurately identify than the second-zone parameters due to insufficient early-time data and high correlation of the sensitivities among the first-zone parameters. However, the problem of inaccurate results obtained at the first-zone can be significantly improved if more densely temporal drawdown measurements are used.     

Mathematical Formulations of NRCS 24-Hour Design Storms

Four standard design storms (called Types 1, 1A, 2, and 3) developed by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) are used widely throughout the United States for hydrological design of flood control structures and storm-water best management practices. The 24-h rainfall patterns are intended for use in catchments with areas of 250?km2 or less, and they are considered applicable to storms of any average recurrence interval. Presented as ratios of accumulated rainfall depth to the total 24-h rainfall depth at 6?min intervals, interpolation of the tabulated values usually is needed to obtain rainfall intensities at desired storm times. A mathematical formulation of rainfall intensity consisting of two exponential terms and a constant term is fit to each of the four distributions, and optimal values of the model coefficients are found. The formula reproduces closely all of the four NRCS 24-h design storms, and can be used to extract shorter duration subsets of the 24-h rainfall patterns in an uncomplicated way.
