The feasibility of using low cost, unpowered, unshielded dynamic microphones is investigated for cost effective contactless sensing of impact-echo signals in concrete structures. Impact-echo tests on a delaminated concrete slab specimen were conducted and the results were used to assess the damage detection capability of the low cost system. Results showed that the dynamic microphone successfully captured impact-echo signals with a contactless manner and the delaminations in concrete structures were clearly detected as good as expensive high-end air pressure sensor based non-contact impact-echo testing.

The safety criteria for the simple beam with a rigid-plastic model under the impulsive loadings are established with the peak-load ratio to the static collapse load and impulse ratio to the ideal impulse producing the plastic hinge at the mid-span. It is shown that the impulse and peak-load of the impulsive loadings are the important factors for the damage of the structures. It is also shown that the damage curves with the peak-load and impulse ratio may be useful method to estimate the damage of the structures due to the emphasis on the equivalent dynamic loads rather than the equivalent static loads in the process of deriving the curve.

In this paper, a study of damage detection for 2-Dimensional Truss Structures using the parametric projection filter theorr is presented. Many researchers are interested in inverse problem 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 filtering algorithm, the Kalman filtering algorithm is well known and have been applied to many kind of inverse problems. In this paper, the Parametric projection filtering in conjunction with structural analysis is applied to the identification of damages in 2-D truss structures. The natural frequency and modes of damaged truss model are adopted as the measurement data. The effectiveness of proposed method is verified through the numerical examples.

비선형 해석의 중요성이 증가하고 있는 혼합형 고체 추진제의 비선형거동중 재료비선형에 대한 거시적/미시적 현상을 설명하고, 그 주요한 원인으로서 Mullin 효과와 결합제/충전미립자 사이의 접착분리(Dewetting)를 주로 고찰하였다. 이를 응용한 지금까지의 비선형 구성방정식의 개발동향을 검토하여 비교하였으며 최근에 제시되고 있는 손상변수를 분석하였다. 여러 변형률 크기에 대한 응력이완 모듈러스 실험을 통하여 변형률 크기가 손상변수로서 적합하지 않음을 보였으며, 변형률 크기에 따라 모듈러스의 저하가 크기 때문에 비선형 점탄성 해석이 중요한 문제임을 제시하였다.

Injury of articular cartilage can be classified into acute injury and chronic degenerative osteoarthritis Acute mechanical trauma on articular cartilage causes injuries that are divided into three distinct types based on the depth of injury: microdamage, chondral fracture, osteochondral fracture and each type has different potential of healing response and long-term prognosis. Articular cartilage undergoes degradation in response to a number of stimuli and eventually degenerative osteoarthritic changes will progress. The extent of initial injury to the articular cartilage is the most important factor affecting the long-term outcome of the healing response and other variables such as the size of lesion, site, age, activity level, obesity, limb alignment are also important factors. In this review, the pathophysiology that occurs within articular cartilage after different injuries and the effect of nonsurgical treatment mainly in physicochemical aspect and biological aspect will be discussed.

본 논문에서는 새로이 유도된 진동기초 손상검색방법을 제시하고, 제한적인 모드특성치가 측정된 구조물을 대상으로 이 알고리즘의 적합성과 손상예측의 정확도를 검증하고자 하였다. 먼저, 기존의 Kim과 Stubbs에 의해 발표된 손상발견 알고리즘들을 검토하였으며, 이 알고리즘들의 적용한계와 오류적 가정을 극복할 수 있는 손상검색 알고리즘을 새로이 유도하였다. 다음으로, 손상발생 전후에 소수의 진동모드 특성치가 측정된 2경간 연속보를 대상으로 손상예측실험을 수행하여, 이들 손상검색 알고리즘의 손상예측 정확도를 분석하였다. 기존의 손상검색 알고리즘에 비하여 새로이 유도된 손상검색 알고리즘의 손상예측 정확도가 향상된 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper concentrates on the evaluation of microcracks in thermal damaged concrete on the basis of the nonlinear ultrasonic modulation technique. Since concrete structure exposed to high temperature accompanies the development of microcracks due to the physical and chemical changes from temperature and exposed time, the adoption of nonlinear approach is required. Instead of using the conventional ultrasonic nondestructive methods which have the limitation in evaluating excessive microcracks, accordingly, a nonlinear ultrasonic modulation method which shows better sensitivity in quantifying microcracks is introduced. Upon the analysis for the modulation of ultrasonic wave and low frequency impact to measure the nonlinearity parameter, which can be used as an indicator of thermal damage, the verification processes for the introduced technique are followed: SEM investigation and permeable pore space test are performed to characterize thermally induced microcracks in concrete, and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests are performed to confirm the outstanding sensitivity of nonlinear ultrasonic modulation technique. In advance, compressive strength of thermal damaged concrete is measured to represent the effect of microcracks on performance degradation. Correlation studies between experimental data and measured data show that nonlinear ultrasonic modulation technique can effectively be used to quantify thermally induced microcracks, and to estimate the compressive strength of thermally damaged concrete.

Under two level block loading, the carbornitrizing specimen can be expected to show different behavior from other uniform material because the properties of surface layer and inner material are different from each other. In this research, the modified Marco-Starkey cumulative theory, which considers load interaction effect, can predict the life of SCM415 carbornitrizing and original notched and smooth specimen, In the low-high test of carbornitrizing specimen which has long life, however, we may additionally consider the increase of life by means of the stress hardening of inner original material.

본 논문에서는 열탄점소성 손상과 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 위하여 적응성 영역/경계 분할법을 제안하였다. 적응성 영역/경계 분할법은 시간 증분 또는 반복 기법 단계에서 열탄점소성 손상과 같은 재료 비선형성을 감안하여 부영역을 재설정하며, 접촉에 따른 경계 비선형성은 경계면을 통하여 부영역으로부터 독립적으로 분할한다. 분할된 각각의 부영역과 경계면을 기준으로 유한요소 정식화를 수행하며, 공유면 및 접촉 공유면의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 일부 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬에 국한된다. 수치 실험을 통하여 적응성 해석 알고리듬의 기본적인 특성과 효율성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다.
