Abstract

Abstract

Vortex-induced vibrations frequently occur in ultra-high voltage （UHV） steel tubular towers， inducing fatigue damage in structural components and posing significant safety hazards， particularly given the limitations of traditional wind tunnel testing and numerical simulation method， time series induced by the vortex-induced vibrations for a typical steel tubular member from a large-span transmission tower， as a case study， VMD-SSA-Transformer-GRU has been creatively proposed to predict the vortex-induced vibration to better capture the wide-range fluctuations in vortex-induced vibration monitoring data of transmission towers. Firstly， based on the three models with different groups and iterations， the sine functions with different sample sizes have been simulated， indicating that the simulated values based on the proposed model are more accurate and have faster convergence to approach the theoretical values when compared with the five assessment indices. Furthermore， a prediction model has been proposed to predict the vortex-induced vibration， as for a single series， Mean Absolute Error （MAE）， the Mean Square Error （MSE）， the Root Mean Square Error （RMSE） and higher coefficient of determination （R²） are 0.0029653，2.6566×10^-5，0.005154 and 0.96143 respectively， which indicating the reliability of the proposed model to predict the vibration with high dimensions and nonlinearity. And then， the proposed model has been considered for multi-variable series， MAE， MSE， RMSE and R² are 0.0020449，1.7791×10^-5，0.004218 and 0.97373， respectively， it can be observed that the predictions is better than that with single series， and also comparing with the frequency curves of the time series， deeply verifying the high accuracy and reliability of the multivariable VMD-SSA-Transformer-GRU model. In summary， the multivariable model can effectively capture the fluctuation of steel tubular members for a UHV transmission tower to realize the vibration prediction considering different conditions， and has obvious superiority in calculation efficiency for CFD methods.
