Simulation of Fatigue Fracture Detection of Bridge Steel Structures under Cyclic Loads

Abstract

Bridge steel structures are widely used in bridge construction with the advantages of light self-weight, convenient use, and good bridge span. Steel bridges are subjected to cyclic loading for a long time during their service period, and cyclic loading has a certain influence on their fatigue resistance performance. Fatigue is a phenomenon in which the structure is subjected to cyclic loading that generates cracks, expands continuously, and eventually leads to fracture of the member. The bridge steel structure under the repeated action of vehicle load and cyclic load is caused by microcracks and will expand with time, and the bridge deck system structure is prone to fatigue damage, so fatigue fracture detection has a great impact on the safe service life of steel bridges. In this paper, the fatigue design guidelines in the relevant codes and the bridge steel structure detection model are compared and analyzed, and a neural network-based fatigue fracture detection model for bridge steel structures under cyclic loading is proposed for the study of fatigue and corrosion interactions and fatigue and fracture of steel bridges under complex stress conditions. For this purpose, in the relevant experiments, experiments are designed to detect the fatigue fracture of bridge steel structures under different cyclic loads, and the experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
