摘要：Structural nonlinearity identification is critical for post-event damage detection or condition evaluation of engineering structures after strong dynamic excitation such as earthquake where structural nonlinear behaviour should be considered. Structural nonlinear restoring force provides direct indicator describing structural damage initiation and development procedure. Considering the availability of structural dynamic response measurement and the difficulty in defining a parametric model for structural nonlinearity and in estimating structure mass accurately in practice, in this article, a time-domain structural nonlinear restoring force and mass identification approach for multi-degree-of-freedom structures under incomplete excitation using limited acceleration measurements but without using any parametric models of structural nonlinear restoring force is proposed. At first, a memory fading extended Kalman filter with a weighted globl iteration (MF-EKF-WGI) is used to identify the location of nonlinearities and then a Chebyshev polynomial nonparametric model is introduced to model the nonlinear restoring force. The unscented Kalman filter is used to identify the structural responses and the parameters of the Chebyshev polynomial to describe structural nonlinearity. Numerical and experimental studies with a four-storey frame model structure equipped with a magnetorheological damper, which is employed to mimic structural nonlinear behaviour, under impact excitations are carried out to validate the performance of the proposed approach using acceleration measurements at certain degrees of freedom. Numerical and experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of identifying both structural nonlinear restoring force and mass with acceptable accuracy even with a very rough initial mass estimation. The proposed time-domain identification approach can be used to detect structural damage initiation and development process and to evaluate energy consumption quantitatively of engineering structures under dynamic loadings.
