Abstract: A bottom–up multi-scale performance transfer chain is developed to ascertain the gradual change in the law of vibration characteristics in spatial steel truss structures under fatigue loading. This chain derives the interrelationship between vibration characteristics and the performance of each structural component. Based on the evolution characteristics of the performance model of the member scale in the transfer chain, a new analytical model of the shape function is established. Building on these foundations, a refined model was formulated to depict the gradual change of vibration characteristics in spatial steel truss systems under fatigue loading. This model integrates the cumulative damage rule, the structural residual performance rule, the finite element method and other pertinent theories. The gradual change in vibration characteristics of a steel truss girder bridge subjected to train loads was analyzed using a self-developed three-dimensional finite element analysis framework tailored explicitly for assessing gradual change issues in spatial steel truss structures. The analysis results indicate that the effective residual cross-sectional area and the structural frequency continuously decline as the service time increases. This comprehensive study advances the understanding of fatigue-induced changes in spatial steel truss structures. It offers analytical perspectives for predicting and mitigating the long-term impacts of dynamic loads on large-scale infrastructural components.
