This paper presents a method that integrates passive and active-sensing techniques for the structural health monitoring of plate-like structures. Three piezoelectric transducers are deployed in a L-shape to detect and locate an impact event by measuring and processing the acoustic emission data. The same sensor arrays are used to estimate the subsequent structural damage using guided waves. Because this method does not require a prior knowledge of the structural parameters, such as the wave velocity profile in various directions, accurate results could be achieved even on anisotropic or curved plates. A series of experiments was performed on plates, including a spar-wing structure, to demonstrate the capability of the proposed method. The performance was also compared to that of traditional approaches and the superior capability of the proposed method was experimentally demonstrated.

In the present work, a nonlinear inverse perturbation method which has been used in the structural optimization, is adopted so as to identify the structural damages. Unlike the structural optimization, a larger number of constrained equations than the number of unknown parameters are often required detect structural damage. Therefore, nonlinear least squares method is utilized to solve the problem. Because only a limited number of sensors are available I real situation of damage detection, the determination of sensor location becomes one of the most important issues. Hence, this work concentrates on the issue of sensor placement in the framework of nonlinear inverse perturbation method, and the performances of various methodologies concerning to sensor placement are compared with each other. The comparisons show tat the successive elimination method gets good performance for sensor placement. From the several numerical studies, it is confirmed that the inverse perturbation method, combined with the successive elimination method, is very promising in structural damage detection.

A recently developed filbert-Huang transform (HHT) technique is applied to detect damage locations of bridge structures. The HHT may be used to identify the locations of damages which exhibit nonlinear and nonstationary behavior, since the HHT can show the instantaneous frequency characteristics of the signal. A series of numerical simulations were conducted for bridge pier systems with damages under a controlled load with sweeping frequency. The results of the numerical simulation study indicate that the HHT method can reasonably identify damage locations using a limited number of acceleration sensors under severe measurement noise condition.

fiducial mark는 PCB 정밀조립/검사 장비에서 위치보정을 위해 필수적으로 사용되는데, 실제 생산현장에서의 fiducial mark의 품질은 완전하지 않고, 손상된 상태인 경우가 많이 발생한다. 기존에 주로 사용되는 blob centroid 방법에 의한 mark의 위치추출은 mark의 상태가 손상되었을 경우, 큰 오차를 수반하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Generalized Hough Transform을 이용한 fiducial mark의 중심위치 기법을 개발하여, 적용한 결과 손상된 mark에 대해서도 매우 강건한 결과를 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 차량하중에 의한 상시진동기록을 이용한 교량의 손상추정기법을 연구하였다. 즉, 차량진행 중 측정된 신호로부터 구조물의 모드특성을 구하고, 이를 이용하여 손상위치 및 손상정도를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안기법의 검증을 위하여 차량하중을 재하할 수 있는 모형교량을 제작하여 손상실험을 수행하였다. 차량진행 중 교량의 수직가속도를 계측하였으며, 측정된 가속도시계열로부터 random decrement(RD) 기법을 사용하여 자유진동신호를 구한 후, 이로부터 구조물의 모드특성을 추정하였다. 추정된 모드특성을 기초로 신경망기법을 적용하여 손상위치 및 손상정도를 추정하였으며, 추정된 결과는 실제 손상과 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to estimate the damage size by combining the reflected area with the reflected position and extracting contours in proportion to the maximum value of pixels from the visible image. The cumulative summation feature vector algorithm is used to obtain the area of the reflected signal. To get the position of the reflected signal, the signal correlation algorithm is used to decompose the reflected signal from the damage. The proposed algorithm is tested and validated for composite panels. Repetitive experiments are performed and it is confirm that the proposed algorithm is reproducible. Further, it is verified that the damage size can be estimated appropriately by the proposed algorithm.

구조물에 손상이 발생하면 구조물의 강성변화로 구조물의 고유진동수에 변화가 발생하게 된다. 실험을 통해 얻을 수 있는 손상 전 구조물의 고유진동수와 해석적 방법을 사용하여 구하는 고유진동수가 같다고 가정하고 해석적인 방법으로 손상전후 고유진동수비를 구하여 3차원 그래프로 표시하였다. 손상이 한 부위에 존재할 경우 진동실험으로 구한 고유진동수비를 고유진동수비 그래프와 비교하여 손상의 위치, 크기 및 방향을 알 수 있었으나 여러 지점에 손상이 발생할 경우에는 손상을 파악하기 위해 고유진동수비 그래프 외에 주파수 응답함수를 병행하여 사용하였다.

최근 울진 1,2호기의 급정지 제어봉 E.C.T(Eddy Current Test) 결과 Fretting Wear가 심한 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 유동유발 진동에 의해 제어봉과 그 지지물 간의 접촉으로 인한 손상이 주요인으로 추정되고 있다. 제어봉 손상은 제어봉 교체로 인한 비용뿐만 아니라 마모금속의 방사화로 인한 냉각재의 오염을 수반한다. 따라서 본 연구는 원자로의 유동유발진동을 선별하여 파손 위치 및 형태, 유동조건, 제어봉과 안내관의 기하학적 구조 등을 분석한 결과 지배적인 손상원인을 Turbulence Excitation과 Fluidelastic Instability로 선정하였다. 특히 안내관내의 6번째 card 위치에서 발생하는 높은 마모현상이 난류도 증가에 의한 손상임을 제시하였다

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.

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.
