Abstract

In this paper, damage detection procedure using the finite element model updating was formulated and applied to a small-scale frame structure. FE model updating is the analytical method which finds the mathematical model that generates the measured dynamic properties similarly, and can be effectively used for the damage detection and SHM. For model updating, several kinds of dynamic properties, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency response functions, can be used as the inputs. In this paper, two kinds of model updating procedures using the natrual frequency and the frequency response function, and the natrual frequency and the mode shapes, respectively, were applied to identify the location and the severity of damage of the test structure, which is a four-story two bay steel structure. Results from the damage detection showed that more accurate identification results was obtained when the natrual frequency and the frequency response function were used than when the natrual frequency and the mode shapes were used.

본 논문에서는 유한요소모델개선기법을 이용하여 골조구조물의 손상탐지를 실시하였다. 유한요소모델개선기법은 계측된 동특성을 모사하는 구조해석모델을 구하는 방법으로서 손상탐지 및 구조건전도감시를 위해 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 유한요소모델개선기법에는 다양한 종류의 동특성데이터가 사용될 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 고유진동수와 모드형상, 주파수응답함수를 사용한 모델 개선식을 유도한 후, 고유진동수와 모드형상, 고유진동수와 주파수응답함수식을 조합한 경우에 대해 실험실 규모의 구조물의 손상위치 및 손상정도를 추정하였다. 구조물은 4층 철골조 구조물로서 진동대를 이용하여 원구조물에 백색잡음 가진실험을 실시한 후 손상의 모사를 위해 1층 부분의 보 부재를 다양한 단면의 부재로 교체하고 동일한 실험을 반복하였다. 보 부재 교체 전 후에 계측된 데이터와 두 종류의 모델개선기법을 각각 적용하여 손상탐지를 실시한 후, 손상위치 및 손상정도에 대한 정확도를 분석하였다. 분석결과 고유진동수+모드형상을 사용한 경우보다 고유진동수+주파수응답함수를 사용한 경우 더욱 정확히 손상을 탐지할 수 있었다.
