This paper presents substructural identification methods for the assessment of local damages in complex and large structural systems. For this purpose, an auto-regressive and moving average with stochastic input (ARMAX) model is derived for a substructure to process the measurement data impaired by noises. Using the substructural methods, the number of unknown parameters for each identification can be significantly reduced, hence the convergence and accuracy of estimation can be improved. Secondly, the damage index is defined as the ratio of the current stiffness to the baseline value at each element for the damage assessment. The indirect estimation method was performed using the estimated results from the identification of the system matrices from the substructural identification. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, several simulation and experimental example analyses are carried out for structural models of a 2-span truss structure, a 3-span continuous beam model and 3-story building model. The results indicate that the present substructural identification method and damage estimation methods are effective and efficient for local damage estimation of complex structures.

Simple principles of self-imaging in Multi-Mode Interference (MMI) devices are based on the approximation of propagation constants. The analysis of the basic nature of the self-imaging principle reveals the problems of previous optimization methods, and provides a new scheme to optimize the external variables for the reconciliation of approximation problems by considering two different tendencies of approximation effects. Furthermore, the representative mode method is proposed to make the application easy. This optimization method provides an essential method for stable design and fabrication of MMI devices with improved characteristics.

In this paper, a blind decision feedback algorithm is proposed based on the ideas that the derivative of information potential for constant modulus errors stays relatively undisturbed even when large output differences are induced by severe channel distortions and this property can prevent the error propagation that is one of the main problems in decision feedback structures. From the simulation results of the steady state MSE, the proposed blind equalizer algorithm with decision feedback has yielded about 3 dB performance enhancement in the channel model without spectrum nulls and above 9 dB in severe channel characteristics with spectrum nulls.

최근 기후변화로 인한 국지적인 돌발성 위험기상 및 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가로 인한 기상재해의 규모가 대형화되고 있다. 이러한 기상재해 및 위험기상의 대비를 위하여 시공간적으로 고해상도를 갖는 레이더 강수자료가 수공학분야에 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 기상레이더는 대기 중에 존재하는 수상체로부터 반사되는 반사도를 사용하여 강수량을 산정하므로 지상 강수자료와 시공간적 오차가 존재하며 레이더-반사도 관계식을 적용하더라도 과소추정의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 과소추정의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 편의보정기법을 적용한 레이더 강수자료에는 여전히 관측과정에서 발생할 수 있는 무작위 오차(random error)에 대한 불확실성이 존재하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과소추정의 문제를 개선하고 레이더 강수자료의 시공간적 오차구조 규명이 가능한 정량적 강수량 추정기법을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 다변량 분석기법을 사용하여 레이더 강수자료의 시공간적 오차구조를 반영할 수 있는 무작위 오차(random error)를 확률론적으로 발생할 수 있는 레이더 강수앙상블 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형으로부터 생산된 레이더 강우앙상블은 통계적 효율기준 분석결과 우수한 모형성능을 확인하였으며 극치호우 및 강우시계열 패턴 분석결과 지상강우의 특성을 효과적으로 재현하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 도시유역 및 미계측유역의 강우-유출모형에 입력 자료로 활용하여 홍수자료를 생산할 수 있는 레이더기반 홍수예보 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

The membrane structures, a kind of lightweight soft structural system, are used for spatial structures. The material property of the membrane has strong axial stiffness, but little bending stiffness. The design procedure of membrane structures are needed to do shape finding, stress-deformation analysis and cutting pattern generation. In shape finding, membrane structures are unstable structures initially. These soft structures need to be introduced initial stresses because of its initial unstable state, and happen large deformation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the convergence of solution and the speed according to the control variables and the method of shape analysis.

A modal method is presented for the investigation of the effects of measurement errors in damage detection for dynamic structural systems. The structural modifications to the baseline system result in the response changes of the perturbed structure, which are measured to determine a unique system in the inverse problem of damage detection. If the numerical modal data are exact, mathematical programming techniques can be applied to obtain the accurate structural changes. In practice, however, the associated measurement errors are unavoidable, to some extent, and cause significant deviations from the correct perturbed system because of the intrinsic instability of eigenvalue problem. Hence, a self-equilibrating inverse system is allowed to drift in the close neighborhood of the measured data. A numerical example shows that iterative procedures can be used to search for the damaged structural elements. A small set of selected degrees of freedom is employed for practical applicability and computational efficiency.

A nonlinear time-domain system identification algorithm using measured acceleration data is developed for structural damage assessment. To take account of nonlinear behavior of structural systems, an output error between measured and computed acceleration increments has been defined and a constrained nonlinear optimization problem is solved for optimal structural parameters. The algorithm estimates time-varying properties of stiffness and damping parameters. Nonlinear response of restoring force of a structural system is recovered by using the estimated time-varying structural properties and computed displacement by Newmark-$\beta$ method. In the recovery, no pre-defined model for inelastic behavior has been assumed. In developing the algorithm, noise and incomplete measurement in space and state have been considered. To examine the developed algorithm, numerical simulation and laboratory experimental studies on a three-story shear building have been carried out.

The mutual radiation impedance was calculated using the spatial convolution in the cylindrical structure. The Cartesian coordinate was transformed into the cylindrical coordinate using the spatial convolution for the cylindrical array structure. This method cannot consider the cylindrical baffle, but can reduce the computation time. The error for not considering the cylindrical baffle was analyzed by the comparison of the spatial convolution method with the quadruple integration method in the cylindrical structure. The mutual radiation resistance in the cylindrical structure was compared with the one in the planar baffle. Based on two kinds of the comparison, we presented the error of the suggesting method in this paper, confirming that the spatial convolution method could be applied to compute the mutual radiation impedance in the cylindrical structure at certain conditions.
