To detect the damage in composite structure, nondestructive evaluation techniques are widely used. Tapping test is perhaps the most common technique used for the detection of damage in composite laminates. The method is accomplished by tapping the inspection area with light hammer-like device. The tapping test has the ability that indicates damages in a structure due to a localized change of stiffness. The change in vibration signature may be detected by measurement of the dynamic contact force during impact. In this study, it has been shown that the characteristics of impact force histories from a structure during tapping are changed by the presence of damage such as surface crack and delamination. And impact response analysis has been performed on composite rotor blade with crack to investigate the effect of damage.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the stress thresholds in crack development and the corrected fracture toughness of KURT granite under dry and saturated conditions. The stress thresholds were identified by calculation of inelastic volumetric strain from an uniaxial compression test. The corrected fracture toughness was estimated by using the Level II method (Chevron Bend specimen), suggested by ISRM (1988), in which non-linear behaviors of rock was taken into account. Average crack initiation stress(σ_ci) and crack damage stress(σ_cd) under a dry condition were 91.1 MPa and 128.7 MPa. While, average crack initiation stress(σ_ci) and crack damage stress(σ_cd) under a saturated condition were 58.2 MPa and 68.2 MPa. The crack initiation stress and crack damage stress of saturated ones decreased 36% and 47% respectively compared to those of dry specimens. A decrease in crack damage stress is relatively larger than that of crack initiation stress under a saturated condition. This indicates that the unstable crack growth can be more easily generated because of the saturation effect of water compared to the dry condition. The average corrected fracture toughness of KURT granite was 0.811 MPa·m^0.5. While, the fracture toughness of saturated KURT granite(K_CB) was 0.620 MPa·m^0.5. The corrected fracture toughness of rock in saturated condition decreases by 23.5% compared to that in dry condition. It is found that the resistance to crack propagation decreases under the saturated geological condition.

In this study, static displacement sensors using lead switches are bonded on concrete beams and RC beams, and monitoring systems to crack damages are studied using radio frequency. If load is received on the center of flexible specimens, bonded static displacement sensors will be destroyed, and these become to send signals of damages at radio frequency system connected with static displacement sensors. Study of these functional building elements will be protected from external factors by unusual weather, earthquake, etc, in RC buildings and structures.

A methodology to nondestructively locate and estimate size of damage in beam-type structures using a few natural frequencies or a few mode shapes is presented. A damage-localization algorithm to locate damage from changes in natural frequencies and a damage-sizing algorithm to estimate crack-size from natural frequency perturbation are outlined. A damage index algorithm to localize and estimate severity of damage from monitoring changes in mode shapes is outlined. The frequency-based method and the mode-shape-based method are evaluated for several damage scenarios by locating and sizing damage in PS concrete beams lot which a few natural frequencies and mode shapes are generated from finite element models. The result of the analyses indicates that the two methods correctly localize and closely estimate the size of the crack simulated in the test beam.

Use of concrete has undoubtedly become widespread in construction. Sensors are used to add functional characteristics to concrete. Self-diagnosing, smart concrete is also being developed. Development of these functional materials and structures will play an important role in protecting buildings and structures against external factors brought about by unusual weather among others. In this study, the innovative measurement system is presented where material damages and internal stress can simply be detected against the compressive and bending force of the structure using light-emitting diode and the resistance property of electric fuse.

국내 산업화가 들어선 후 산업화 당시 지었던 낙후된 건물의 증가에 따라 구조물의 손상 조사 및 검사 방법의 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 일반적으로 구조물의 손상은 전문 검사원이 현장에서 직접 측량도구와 시각적인 방식으로 검사한다. 그러나 전문 검사원들이 직접 조사하는 수고에 비해 균열을 검사하는 방식 자체가 단순하고, 일반 사람이 검사하기에는 객관성이 떨어지는 한계가 있어 균열을 자동적으로 검출함으로써 객관성과 편의성을 보장할 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이미지 기반으로 다양한 환경에서의 외벽 균열을 검출할 수 있는 딥러닝 모델 개발을 소개한다. 균열 검출을 위해 다양한 외벽 균열 관련 데이터셋을 확보 및 구축하고 각 데이터셋의 검출 정보를 보완할 반자동(semi-auto) 라벨링 작업을 수행하였다. 두 번째로 기존 높은 검출 성능을 보였던 모델들을 선정 및 비교하여 YOLO v5 모델을 최종적으로 선정하였고, 도메인이 각각 다른 데이터셋에 대한 교차 학습을 통해 각 데이터셋의 mAP의 편차가 31%에서 11%로 좁히는 작업을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 실제 상황에서의 균열 영상에서 균열을 검출할 수 있는 측량 시스템을 개발함으로써 실질적인 검사의 도구로 활용될 수 있길 기대한다.

휨강성이 작은 바닥시스템인 플랫 플레이트 구조는 응력조건 뿐만 아니라 사용성조건에 의하여 구조적 성능이 결정될 수 있으며, 특히 과도한 시공 하중의 작용은 시공 중 안전성에 대한 단기적인 손상 뿐만 아니라 사용성에 관련된 장기적인 손상을 발생시킬 수 있다. 이러한 플랫 플레이트의 시공하중은 동바리지지 층 수, 시공주기, 슬래브 콘크리트의 재료적인 강성 뿐만 아니라, 동바리의 강성과 슬래브에 발생하는 균열에 의한 영향에 의하여 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 설계조건에 대한 해석연구를 통하여, 동바리-슬래브의 강성비 변화 및 콘크리트 균열에 의한 단면강성저하가 슬래브들 간의 하중 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이러한 동바리 강성 및 슬래브 균열의 영향을 고려한 시공하중 산정법을 제안한다.

Brittle materials such as ceramics and glasses show fragile fracture due to the low toughness and the crack sensitivity. When brittle materials are subjected to impact loading by small spheres, high contact pressure occurs to the surface of the specimen. Local damage is subsequently generated in the specimen. This local damage is a dangerous factor which gives rise to the final fracture of structures. In this research, impact damage of soda-lime glass plates by small spheres was evaluated by considering the effects of impact directions of indenter, pressure condition of specimen and residual strength after impact loading.

This paper attempts to incorporate the initial crack damage effect into the existing idealized plate unit. For this purpose, a new concept which indicates the equivalent, reduced material properties due to initial cracks at the structural unit level, not at he microscopic aspect, is suggested, and a simplified mechanical plate model for the initially cracked plate in axial tension is formulated as a function of initial crack length, based on the finite-element solutions obtained by crack propagation analysis.

In this study, vibration tests are performed on cantilevered and clamped-clamped laminated composite rectangular plates using experimental modal analysis technique. The damages are simulated by applying progressive line cracks to the laminated composite plates for damage evaluations due to crack growth. The changes of frequency response functions(FRFs), MAC values, and modal parameters (frequency, mode shape and damping ratio) of the damaged composite plates, which are obtained by the modal testing of impact hammer, are investigated. Each experimental modal parameter of the progressively damaged composite plates is compared with natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained by finite element analysis. It is seen that the damage can be evaluated from the changes in the geometric properties and structural behaviors of the laminated composite plates resulting from the model updating process of the finite element model as a benchmark.
