This paper evaluates the soundness of structural elements using Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). WPT is applied to the response acceleration of a framed structure which is subjected to earthquake load to decompose the response acceleration, then the energy of each component is calculated. The first five largest components in energy magnitude among the decomposed components are selected as input to an ANN to identify the damage location and severity. Two nodes in output layer yield damaged element and damage severity respectively. This method successfully evaluates the amount of damage and its location in the structure.

Health monitoring is a major concern not only in the design and manufacturing but also in service stages for composite laminated structures. Excessive loads or low velocity impact can cause matrix cracks and delaminations that may severely degrade the load carrying capability of the composite laminated structures. To develop the health monitoring techniques providing on-line diagnostics of smart composite structures can be helpful in keeping the composite structures sound during their service. In this study, we discuss the signal processing techniques and some applications for health monitoring of composite structures using piezoceramic sensors and fiber optic sensors.

For structural health monitoring of a complex shaped structure a new sensor that can compensate for the drawbacks of the current sensors such as brittleness is needed and the sensor should be highly flexible and durable. In this study a textile sensor made of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) which is a type of electroactive polymer was fabricated. And the textile sensors were applied to a complex shaped structure (an egg-box panel made of carbon/epoxy composite) for checking their feasibility of structural health monitoring. To correlate the collapse response with failure mechanisms of the structure the multiply-interrupted compressive test was carried out. During the test, the textile sensors succeeded to prove their applicability for damage detection (crack initiation) by generating electric voltages (0.05 V-0.25 V) in the real time.

지하구조물의 건전성을 평가하기 위한 비파괴시험으로써 탄성응력파를 이용한 충격반향탐사법을 수치해석적인 방법을 통하여 수행하였다. 즉, 일면만으로 접근 가능한 터널 면에서의 충격가진과 동적응답의 측정으로 이질면을 포함한 내부의 상태를 예측할 수 있다. 연구의 수행은 탄성거동을 하는 매질 내부에서 전파되는 탄성응력파의 특성을 이해하고, 이를 동적 유한요소해석으로 모형화하여 충격반향탐사법을 수치해석적으로 수행한다. 이질재료가 2개의 층을 이루고 있는 경우 표면층의 두께를 쉽게 측정할 수 있었으며, 구조물의 병진운동, 휨운동과 구조물 내에서 다중반사되는 탄성응력파에 의한 복합적인 영향을 받는 터널과 같은 원통형 구조물에서 동적응답의 주파수 특성으로부터 터널라이닝 내부에 형성된 공동의 위치와 크기의 예측이 가능하였다. 수치해석적인 방법과 병행하여 다양한 형태의 경계조건을 가지는 구조물에 대한 충격반향탐사법의 실험을 수행할 경우 실제적인 문제에 적용, 건전성 평가의 지표를 마련할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to provide appropriate methodology to ensure the safety and integrity of the production riser in offshore structure. In order to select integrity estimation methodology for production riser, level I and II Non-destructive Damage Evaluation (NDE) methods that were applied to existing structures are classified and reviewed. Numerical analysis is performed to verify the applicability and capability on damage detection of reviewed methods. As a result, the damage detection methodology using modal strain energy is more sensitive in detection of the damage than other methods. In practice, the number of sensors is limited due to the environmental and financial conditions. The impact on damage detection performance by reducing the number of sensors is systematically investigated through a series of numerical analyses and the results are discussed. The optimal number of sensor for the integrity estimation of production riser is recommended.

In recent years, numerous mega-size and complex civil infrastructures have been constructed worldwide. For the more precise construction and maintenance process management of these civil infrastructures, the application of a variety of smart sensor-based structural health monitoring (SHM) systems is required. The efficient management of both sensors and collected databases is also very important. Recently, several kinds of database access technologies using Quick Response (QR) code and Augmented Reality (AR) applications have been developed. These technologies provide software tools incorporated with mobile devices, such as smart phone, tablet PC and smart pad systems, so that databases can be accessed very quickly and easily. In this paper, an AR-based structural health monitoring technique is suggested for sensor management and the efficient access of databases collected from sensor networks that are distributed at target structures. The global positioning system (GPS) in mobile devices simultaneously recognizes the user location and sensor location, and calculates the distance between the two locations. In addition, the processed health monitoring results are sent from a main server to the user's mobile device, via the RSS (really simple syndication) feed format. It can be confirmed that the AR-based structural health monitoring technique is very useful for the real-time construction process management of numerous mega-size and complex civil infrastructures.

운전상태 II의 여러 가지 각종 파괴사고의 원인을 한 두가지인 원인으로 명확하게 구분 할 수는 없다. 여러 가지의 복잡한 원인과 조건들이 복합적으로 작용하여 대. 소형 구조물의 안전성. 건전성이 위협받는 경우가 대부분일 것이다. 여기에서는 원자로의 건전성 평가에 파괴역학의 이론. 개념 등을 어떻게 응용하는가를 간단하게 기술하였다. 여기에서 논의된 사항들뿐만 아니라 소형시험편을 사용하여 정확한 파괴인성치를 측정하는 방법론이라든지, 급속히 발달되고 있는 전자장비들을 어떻게 우리들의 파괴역학적인 개념들과 접목시켜서 건전성, 안전성을 평가. 유지 하는데 이용할 것인가 등의 방법론들의 개발. 연구되어야 하겠다.

To evaluate the structural integrity of the main cooling-water pump of a nuclear power plant under different seismic conditions, the seismic analysis was performed in accordance with IEEE-STD-344 code. The finite element computer program, ANSYS, was used to perform both mode frequency analysis and response spectrum analysis for the pump assembly. The natural frequencies, the mode shapes, and the mode participation factors were obtained from the results of the mode frequency analysis. The stresses resulting from various loadings and their combinations were within the allowable limits specified in the above-mentioned IEEE code. The results of the seismic evaluation fully satisfied the structural acceptance criteria of the IEEE code. Thus, it was proved that the structural integrity of the pump assembly was satisfactory.
