A data-driven approach for linear and nonlinear damage detection using variational mode decomposition and GARCH model

Abstract

In this article, an original data-driven approach is proposed to detect both linear and nonlinear damages in structures using output-only responses. The method deploys variational mode decomposition (VMD) and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model for signal processing and feature extraction. To this end, VMD decomposes the responsesignals are first decomposed to intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then, GARCH model is utilized to represent the statistics of IMFs. The model coefficients' of IMFs construct the primary feature vector. Kernel-based principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are utilized to reduce the redundancy from the primary features by mapping them to the new feature space. The informative features are then fed separately into three supervised classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), and fine tree. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on two experimental scaled models in terms of linear and nonlinear damage assessment. Kurtosis and ARCH tests proved the compatibility of GARCH model. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique reaches the accuracy of 100% and 98.82% in classifying linear and nonlinear damages, respectively. Also, its accuracy is higher than 80% in the presence of noise with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) higher than 10 dB.

On the Intersection of Signal Processing and Machine Learning: A Use Case-Driven Analysis Approach

“…There is a wealth of well-established methods in the ML literature that can effectively decrease feature size, thereby relaxing computational complexity and reducing feature redundancy. Common methods include dimensionality reduction [414], [414]- [421] and feature ranking and selection [8], [125], [414], [422]- [434]. In DL-based feature extraction methods, the substantial size of the resultant deep-learned features necessitates dimensionality reduction since these features constitute a multi-dimensional latent space.…”

A Novel Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method Based on MFO-Optimized VMD and DE-OSELM

“…Dragomiretskity et al [18] introduced an adaptive signal analysis approach named VMD that deals with signal processing by formulating and resolving variational issues, providing strong resistance to noise. Owing to its ability to tackle modal mixing and endpoint effect effectively, VMD finds applications in multiple fields, including generator anomaly detection, structural health monitoring, and bearing fault diagnosis [19][20][21]. Li and colleagues [22] devised a diagnosis method for fault detection in rolling bearings using VMD and improved Kernel Extreme Learning Machine and demonstrated that VMD successfully addressed the mode mixing problem and boasted superior computational efficiency compared to EMD and LMD methods.…”
