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.

Most aircraft cruise in the stratosphere at which temperature is below $-50^{\circ}C$ md, as a result, the surface of aircraft can be iced up. Ice on the wing can change aerodynamic characteristic and results in the deterioration of its performance. Ice on the engine inlet increases the possibility of compressor blade damage and affects the performance and safety of the engine. This paper focused on the development of icing simulation device for analyzing effect of icing on engine performance. Icing simulation tests were conducted with a liquid air system and a icing simulation device and results show that icing could be simulated with this system.

In this paper, we developed a finger robot simulating spasticity and contracture which can be used as a testing bed for evaluating performance of hand rehabilitation devices while it can be also used to train clinicians for improving reliability of clinical assessment. The robot is designed for adult finger size and for independent control of Metacarpophalangeal Joint and Proximal Interphalangeal Joint. Algorithm for mimicking spasticity and contracture is implemented. By adjusting the parameters related to contracture and spasticity, the robot can mimic various patterns of responses observed in fingers with spasticity and contracture.

암반내에 존재하는 불연속면은 지하구조물의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 불연속면을 해석하기 위한 구성법칙에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 객관적인 거칠기 파라미터를 이용한 전단거동 모사에 관한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 정량적인 거칠기 파라미터를 이용한 두 가지의 새로운 구성방정식을 만들어 절리 거동을 모사하였다. 첫 번째 구성법칙은 탄소성 이론에 근거하여 두께가 없는 개별절리요소 이용한 방법이고, 두 번째 구성법칙은 3차원 레이저 변위 측정 데이터를 직접 이용하여 Ohnishi가 제안한 거칠기 손상모델을 도입하였다. 제안된 두 모델을 가지고 직접 전단시험을 모사해본 결과 실제 실험에 나타나는 변형률 경화 및 연화현상 그리고 잔류전단강도와 같은 현상을 볼 수 있었다.

Analyzing the tunnel excavation behavior and its effect on the surrounding ground involves large deformation behavior. Therefore, in order to properly simulate the tunnel excavation process and rigorously investigate the actual effect of excavation on surrounding ground and tunnel structure large deformation analysis method is required. In this study, two major numerical approaches capable of considering large deformations behavior were applied to investigate the effect of tunnel boring machine excavation on the surrounding ground: coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) and the automatic remeshing (AR) method. Relative performance of both approaches was evaluated through the ground response due to TBM excavation. The ground response will be quantified by estimating the range of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ). By comparing the results, the range of the EDZ will be suggested on the vertical and horizontal direction along the TBM excavation surface. Based on the computed results, it was found that the size of EDZ around the excavation surface and the tendencies was in good agreement among the two approaches. Numerical results clearly show that the size of the EDZ around the tunnel tends to be larger for rock with higher RMR rating. The size of the EDZ is found to be direct proportional to the tunnel diameter, whereas the depth of the tunnel is inversely proportional due to higher confinement stress around the excavation surface.

Reduction Factor for Installation Damage required for calculation of design strength of geogrid used in MSEW(mechanically stabilized earth wall) design is usually obtained in the field test simulating real construction condition. However, damages occurred in geogrid during backfill work are influenced by many factors such as polymer types, unit weight per area, backfill construction method and gradation of backfill material and field test considering these factors demands lots of time and costs. In this study, factors affecting installation damage are analyzed and empirical method for evaluating reduction factor for installation damage using maximum particle size in backfill material is suggested.

In this study, it was performed damage assessment and repair of small scale aircraft adopted on composite. This aircraft adopted the sandwich structure to skin of wing. This study aims to investigate the residual strength of sandwich composites with nomex honeycomb core and carbon fiber face sheets after the open hole damage by the experimental investigation. The 4-point bending tests were used to find the bending strength, and the open hole was applied to introduce the simulated damage on the specimen. The bending strength test results after open hole were compared with the results of no damaged specimen test. In addition, The damaged composite structure was repaired using external patch repair method after removing damaged area. After that, this study presents comparison results of the experimental investigation between the damaged and the repaired specimen. It was found that the bending strength of repaired specimen was recovered up to 95% of undamaged specimen.

The most typical deterioration of steel structures is corrosion damage. However, a method to evaluate residual load-carrying capacity of corroded steel structures is not yet established. It is difficult to check current serviceability and safety of the structures. In this study, compressive tests and finite element analyses were conducted on H-beams with corroded web. Then, the effect of corrosion damage on web crippling strength and evaluation methods of the web crippling strength are studied. Based on the tests, 4 H-beam specimens used in a subway construction site and 9 H-beam specimens with different web-thickness and damaged-height underwent compression-tests. To consider loading and supporting areas in the site, compressive loading was applied in the entire region of the upper and bottom flange in 5 H-beam specimens and applied partially on the regions of the upper and bottom flange in 8 specimens. The finite element analysis of 38 parametric model specimens simulating different corrosion damages was also carried out. From experimental and analytical results, the relationships between corrosion damages in the web and residual web crippling strength are presented. Factors web crippling strength was reduced are formulated by using residual average thickness and the standard deviation of the corroded web thickness. Also, a simple evaluation method of residual web crippling strength was proposed.

Seonunsa Temple is a site of Dancheong cultural significance in Daewoongjeon. Three-dimensional (3D) scanning can be used to create a simulation in 1:1 ratio without touching the Dancheong patterns directly. The traditional method of recreating Dancheong was paining with tracing paper using a fix pin. However, manual direct copy processes can cause and damage to the objects. This study shows the results of a simulation of a tranditional Dancheong patterns as an alternative; the simulation was able to reduce dimensional errors and prevent damage by using 3D scanning. As a result, objective and precise proportions of the simulation were acquired. The 3D scanning method may be applied for work such as the replication and restoration of the drawing, 3D fabrication of the original data, and printing of the additional drawing. In addition, with the production of 3D materials, a virtual museum is possible.

The outside environment is very severe while aircraft is cruising. Especially small particle of icing in cold air condition can have negative influence on aircraft performance. If ice particle is attached to leading edge of wing, it can change wing configuration and decrease flight quality. If icing particle is attached to inlet of engine, it can damage compressor blade and have negative influence to aircraft safety. We make icing simulation device with liquid air system for analyzing about variation of engine performance due to incoming of icing to engine.
