Elastic-wave-based structural health monitoring technology has a broad application potential for its sensitivity and ability to achieve regional monitoring. For structures with large damping and specific shapes, the traditional damage monitoring method is limited by the sensor arrangement area and affected by low signal-to-noise ratios, so it is difficult to accurately locate the damage in a structure. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a damage monitoring method based on a sector piezoelectric sensor array for multiple signal classification algorithm. By arranging two sector piezoelectric sensor arrays that are suitable for a specific structure, the damage scattering array signal under the multi-excitation source was obtained and synthesized, the signal-to-noise ratios were improved, and the damage location accuracy was thus improved. The effectiveness of the method was verified by monitoring the damage in a circular bonded structure with a metal ring. Compared with the damage localization methods based on the traditional single excitation source multiple signal classification algorithm, path imaging and delay-sum imaging, this method can achieve better damage location and has a higher localization accuracy.

In order to accurately grasp the trend of power load changes and provide guidance for stable and efficient operation of the power system, this paper proposes a Chaos-GA-BP power load forecasting model based on rough sets. First, screen the main factors that affect power load changes, remove redundant data, and optimize the input of the prediction model; Second, rely on the BP neural network prediction model to adjust its topology, optimize weights and thresholds, and build a rough set-based Chaos-GA-BP power load forecasting model; Finally, considering the impact of severe power load fluctuations on the forecast results, rough set theory is introduced to perform forecast compensation when the slope on both sides of the peak is large. Applying the above method to a one-month power load forecast in a certain area in Northeast China, the change trend of the forecast curve closely follows the actual load curve. Compared with the traditional method, the average absolute error percentage is reduced by 2.67%. The experiment shows that this method has certain practicability.
