Research on New Method for Safety Testing of Steel Structures—Combining 3D Laser Scanning Technology with FEA
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- A novel approach is proposed for assessing the safety of existing steel structures by integrating 3D laser scanning technology with finite element analysis (FEA), which accurately considers the impact of geometric model variations on structural performance. These geometric model variations can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress-induced deformations, material corrosion, changes during structural use, repairs, etc.
- (2)
- An intelligent method for identifying holes in point cloud models is introduced based on YOLO v5. This method addresses the challenges of high difficulty and significant workload associated with hole identification in point cloud models.
- (3)
- A method for automated modeling from point cloud data is presented, enhancing the efficiency and automation level of reverse modeling processes based on point cloud models.
