In this paper, the basic principle, the application and the limitation of Infrared thermography technique to detect defects in different kinds of concrete structures are reviewed. Considered are voids beneath the concrete surface with experiments, delamination between concrete surface and fiber reinforced polymer sheet, the deterioration of steel bars in reinforced concrete, surface defects in historical buildings, pavements, bridges, and railway track graves. As a result, we conclude that infrared thermography methods are useful for fast detecting defects; however, they are influenced by environmental factors, specially temperature. Therefore it is recommended to use the infrared thermography technique with other NDT equipments to expect better result.

In this paper, we developed a damage evaluation technique that can determine the damage location of a long-sized structure such as a cable-stayed bridge, and verified the performance of the developed technique through experiments. The damage assessment method aims to extract data that can evaluate the damage of the structure without the undamage data and can determine the damage location only by analyzing the response data of the structure. To complete this goal, we developed a damage assessment technique that considers variability based on the IMD theory, which is a statistical pattern recognition technique, to identify the damage location. To complete this goal, we developed a damage assessment technique that considers variability based on the IMD theory, which is a statistical pattern recognition technique, to identify the damage location. To evaluate the performance of the developed technique experimentally, cable damage experiments were conducted on model cable-stayed bridges. As a result, the damage assessment method considering variability automatically outputs the damageless data according to external force, and it is confirmed that the performance of extracting information that can determine the damage location of the cable through the analysis of the outputted damageless data and the measured damage data is shown.

In this paper, a study of damage measures for truss structures using the Extended Projection filter theory is presented. Many researchers are interested in inverse problems and one of solution procedures for inverse problems that are very effective is the approach using the filtering algorithm in conjunction with numerical solution methods. In this paper, the projection filtering in conjunction with structural analysis is applied to the identification of damages in truss structures. And, the effectiveness of proposed method is verified through the numerical examples of a free vibrating structure.

본 논문의 목적은 현재 사용중인 원자력발전소내 금속파편 감시계통 (LMPS: Loose Part Monitoring System)에서 금속파편의 발생위치 평가시 온라인화된 방식을 제안하고 그 효용성을 알아보는 것이다. 현재 사용중인 LMPS들은 센서들을 통해서 기준 진폭수준 이상의 신호가 입력될 때 경보음이 울리고 신호가 기록되도록 되어있다. 이렇게 기록된 신호를 전문가가 분석함으로써 발생한 금속파편 위치 및 계통손상 가능성 등을 평가한다. 그러나 이러한 방법에 의한 신호평가시 경험이 풍부한 전문가에 의해 파편위치 및 손상부위를 평가해야 하므로 많은 시간이 소요되고 금속파편에 의한 손상 잠재성이 큰 경우 즉각적인 조치를 취할 수가 없어 방사능 누출 등의 위험한 상황에 처할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 점에 착안하여 센서로부터의 입력신호 분석 및 평가를 위한 온라인 기법을 제안하고 구조물 모형을 이용한 실험결과를 통하여 그 효용성을 입증한다.

There are invisible defects by naked eyes in ceramic material images such as internal stomata, cracks and foreign substances. In this paper we propose a method to detect and extract such defects from ceramic pipe weld zone by applying ART2 learning. In pre-processing, we apply Ends-in Search Stretching to enhance the intensity and then perform fuzzy binarization with triangle type membership function followed by enhanced ART2 that interacts with random input patterns to extract such invisible defects. The experiment verifies that this proposed method is sufficiently effective.

Concrete is deformed by load and subjected to micro damage under allowable deformation because of non-homogeneous property. When micro damage is accumulated, it is cracked and finally fractured. Characterization of AE can be demonstrated the micro damage which it is not discovered from visual observation, and it become known to an advantage that was clearly discriminated from the existing NDT method. This study was carried out the analysis and evaluation of concrete damage by acoustic emission technique. As a results of damage analysis, it was found out that the more concrete strength has increased, the more concrete has subjected to micro damage at lower stress ratio for chylinder specimen, and this is possible only AE method which could be described the brittle properties. Also it was revealed that the kaiser effect and felicity effect were existed in reinforced concrete bending specimens and it is found out that the onset of interface debonding between concrete and steel could be conformed in comparison with felicity ratio, AE activity and load history. From the results of this study, it was conformed that the deteriorative degree of reinforced concrete structure should be evaluated using felicity ratios.

보호계전의 목적은 인명의 보호는 물론 전기설비나 계통의 사고를 조기에 검출, 사고구간을 분리하므로써 전력설비 자체의 손상을 경감시키고 생산설비의 가동중단이 없도록 신뢰성을 높이는 것이다. 본고에서는 산업용 수배전설비의 보호를 위한 보호계전기가 적정하게 동작하도록 입력요소를 제공하는 변류기 및 계기용 변압기 선정에 대한 고려사항과 수배전계통을 구성하는 중요설비의 보호를 위해 세심한 주의가 요구되는 사항에 대해 기술한다.

전력용 변압기의 단락임피던스를 현장에서 측정하기도 하며 명판이나 공장시험치와 비교 할수도 있다. 이러한 과정은 공장시험이 실시된 이후에 발생 할 수 있는 권선의 이동을 검출하기 위한 것이다. 권선의 이동은 보통 큰 고장전류 또는 운송이나 설치시의 기계적 손상으로 인하여 발생한다.
