As the number of aged bridges increases, the development of efficient bridge maintenance techniques is becoming more important. Particularly, there have been many studies on digital-twin models of bridges for maintenance and SHM (Structure Health Monitering). However, in order to use the digital-twin model for maintenance of the bridge, the model updating process that matches the structural response between the real bridge and the digital-twin bridge model must be done. This study presents a model updating method that adjusts bridge's stiffness and boundary condition with genetic algorithm (GA) using static displacements and verified proposed updating method through field test on PSC girder bridge. This study also proposes a conceptual idea to construct an efficient bridge maintenance system by applying the updated numerical analysis model to the digital-twin model.

Digital twin technology has been actively developed to monitor and assess the current state of actual structures. The digital twin changes the traditional observation method performed in the field to the real-time observation and detection system using virtual online model. Thus, this study designed a digital twin model for a beam and examined the feasibility of the digital twin for bridges. To reflect the current state of the bridge, model updating was performed according to the field test data to construct an analysis model. Based on the constructed bridge analysis model, the relationship between strain and displacement was used to represent a virtual model that behaves in the same way as the actual structure. The strain and displacement relationship was expressed as a matrix derived using an approximate analytical theory. Then, displacements can be obtained using the measured data obtained from strain sensors installed on the bridge. The coordinates of the obtained displacements are used to construct a virtual digital model for the bridge. For verification, a beam was fabricated and tested to evaluate the digital twin model constructed in this study. The displacements obtained from the strain and displacement relationship agrees well with the actual displacements of the beam. In addition, the displacements obtained from the virtual model was visualized at the locations of the strain sensor.

In recent years, technological developments have rapidly increased the number of complex structures and equipment in the industrial. Accordingly, the prognostics and health monitoring (PHM) technology has become significant. The safety assessment of industrial sites requires data obtained by installing a number of sensors in the structure. Therefore, digital twin technology, which forms the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is attracting attention in the safety field. The research on digital twin technology of structures subjected to seismic loads has been conducted recently. Hence, this study proposes a digital twin system that estimates the responses and arbitrary load in real time by utilizing the minimum sensor to a pipe that receives a seismic and arbitrary load. To construct the digital twin system, a finite-element model was created considering the dynamic characteristics of the pipe system, and then updating the finite-element model. In addition, the calculation speed was improved using a finite-element model that applied the reduced-order modeling (ROM) technology to achieve real-time performance. The constructed digital twin system successfully and rapidly estimated the load and the point where the sensor was not attached. The accuracy of the constructed digital twin system was verified by comparing the response of the digital twin model with that derived by using the load estimated from the digital twin model as input in the finite-element model.

제조환경이 더욱 복잡해짐에 따라 전통적인 시뮬레이션만으로는 실시간 현장 결과를 평가하는 데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 Digital Twin개념이 활발히 논의되고 있지만, 제품설계 단계에 국한되어 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 Digital Twin개념이 생산 공정 프로세스에 적용되기 위한 Digital Twin 기반 제조환경 프레임워크를 제시하였다. 구성요소는 실제 생산환경인 물리적 시스템과 데이터베이스, 그리고 가상 시스템인 트윈 모델을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Arena 소프트웨어와 엑셀 VBA를 활용하여 컨베이어 시스템을 대상으로 간단한 Digital Twin 기반 제조시스템을 모의실험하였다. 실험결과 트윈 모델이 실제 물리적 시스템의 실시간 데이터를 전송받아 동일한 시간단위로 작동됨을 확인하였고, 엑셀 VBA에서 축적된 실시간 데이터와 학습 데이터를 기반으로 조정된 파라미터를 생성하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 간단한 모의실험을 통해 Digital Twin 모델 구동 방법을 제안하였으며, Digital Twin 모델의 구현 가능성을 보여주었다.

The manufacturing industry is continuously pursuing advanced technology and smartization as it converges with innovative technology. Improvement of manufacturing productivity is achieved by monitoring, analyzing, and controlling the facilities and processes of the manufacturing site in real time through a network. In this paper, we proposed a new OPC-UA based digital twin model for smart factory facilities. A testbed system for USB flash drive packaging facility was implemented based on the proposed digital twin model and OPC-UA data communication scheme. Through OPC-UA based digital twin model, equipment and process status information is transmitted and received from PLC to monitoring and control 3D digital models and physical models in real time. The usefulness of the developed digital twin testbed system was evaluated through usability test.

Future performance prediction of bridges is challenging task for structural engineers. Well-organized information from design, construction and operation stages is essential for the assessment of structures. Digital twin model is a new concept to realize more reliable data platform for management of infrastructures. Damage history including degradation of material, cracking, corrosion, etc. needs to be accumulated in the digital model. The digital model is linked to the analysis model for the assessment of structural performance considering changed mechanical properties of structural components. In this paper, initial definition digital twin model of a PSC-I girder bridge is proposed.

As the 4th industrial revolution progresses, the application of several cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and mixed reality (MR) in relation to autonomous ships is being considered in the maritime logistics field. The aim of this study was to apply the concept of a digital twin model based on Human Machine Interaction (HMI) including a digital twin model and the role of an operator to a ship. The role of the digital twin is divided into information provision, support, decision, and implementation. The role of the operator is divided into operation, decision-making, supervision, and standby. The system constituting the ship was investigated. The digital twin system that could be applied to the ship was also investigated. The cloud-based digital twin system architecture that could apply investigated applications was divided into ship data collection (part 1), cloud system (part 2), analysis system/ application (part 3), and MR/mobile system (part 4). A Mixed Reality device HoloLens was used as an HMI equipment to perform a simulation test of a digital twin system of an 8 m battery-based electric propulsion ship.

In the process of developing an industrial robot, various simulations should be conducted to evaluate the driving, movement, and performance of the robot. Space and time constraints exist to manufacture existing robots and implement various simulations, and efficiency is reduced due to high costs. To solve this problem, many simulations can be conducted by implementing the same movement and working environment as the real environment in virtual reality using digital twin technology. This study proposes a process for establishing a digital twin model of automated layout robots. Using the digital twin model, it is expected that it will not only evaluate the hardware performance of the robot in the future, but also verify the robot's algorithms such as motion planning and work process, identify and solve potential problems in advance, and prevent problems caused by software.

최근에 들어 디지털 트윈 기술에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 디지털 트윈은 컴퓨터 기반 시뮬레이션을 통해 물리적 현상이나 사물을 모사함으로써 대상을 최적화하는 기술이다. 현재는 특정 분야에 국한되는 프로세스를 최적화하기 위한 단일 디지털 트윈이 개발되고 있지만, 독립된 디지털 트윈만으로는 현실의 방대하고 복합적인 프로세스를 분석하기 어렵다. 이를 극복하고자 도입된 개념이 연합 디지털 트윈이다. 지금까지 연합 디지털 트윈의 연구 방향은 주로 도시와 같이 거시적인 대상을 최적화하는 방식에 중점을 두었다. 그러나 트윈이 상호 연계된다는 특성을 활용하면 기존에 구현되었던 단일 디지털 트윈의 모듈화도 가능할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 프로세스 최적화와 관련된 기능상의 관점에서 단일 디지털 트윈과 연합 디지털 트윈의 개념 및 상호 관계를 정립하고, 이를 토대로 연합 디지털 트윈을 활용한 단일 디지털 트윈의 모듈화 기법을 설계한다. 아울러, 실제 면 제조 공정 사례를 바탕으로 모듈화 기법을 적용한 모델을 설계함으로써 제안하는 방법론의 효용성을 논의하고자 한다.
