Abstract

The reconstruction algorithm for the probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID) is aimed at localizing structural damage via the signal difference coefficient (SDC) between the signals of the present and reference conditions. However, tomography is only capable of presenting the approximate location and not the length and angle of defects. Therefore, a new quantitative evaluation method called the multiple back propagation neural network (Multi-BPNN) is proposed in this work. The Multi-BPNN employs SDC values as input variables and outputs the predicted length and angle, with each output node depending on an individual hidden layer. The cracks of different lengths and angles at the center weld seam of offshore platforms are simulated numerically. The SDC values of the simulations and experiments were normalized for each sample to eliminate external interference in the experiments. Then, the normalized simulation data were employed to train the proposed neural network. The results of the simulations and experimental verification indicated that the Multi-BPNN can effectively predict crack length and angle, and has better stability and generalization capacity than the multi-input to multi-output back propagation neural network.
