Latest Patents

Qing Zhang holds a patent for a "Displacement reconstruction method for lattice tower structure based on improved mode superposition." This invention belongs to the technical field of lattice tower structure monitoring. The method involves the uniform arrangement of D strain sensors on the main member of a lattice tower along its height. It processes collected strain data using a stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method to obtain a matrix of first n-order strain modes. The method calculates a functional relationship between the distance from a measuring point to a neutral layer and height according to the lattice tower design drawing. It performs polynomial fitting on the first n-order strain modes with height coordinates, expands functions using a Taylor formula, and evaluates modal coordinates through the least square method. This improved mode superposition method requires fewer sensors, has a simple calculation process, and provides accurate results with strong operability and practicality.
