The present paper provides experimental J estimation equation for the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe under four-point bending, based on the load-crack opening displacement (COD) record. Based on the limit analysis and the kinematically admissible rigid-body rotation field, the plastic ${\eta}$-factor for the load-COD record is derived and is compared with that for the load-load line displacement record. Comparison with the J results from detailed elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis shows that the proposed method based on the load-COD record provides reliable J estimates even for shallow cracks, whereas the conventional approach based on the load-load line displacement record gives erroneous results for shallow cracks. Thus, the proposed J estimation method could be recommended for testing the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe, particularly with shallow cracks.

In this study, a method predicting the displacement responseof structures from the measured dynamic strain signal is proposed by using a mode decomposition technique. Dynamic loadings including wind and seismic loadings could be exerted to the bridge. In order to examine the bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. Because it may be not easy for the displacement response to be acquired directly on site, an indirect method to predict the displacement response is needed. Thus, as an alternative for predicting the displacement response indirectly, the conversion of the measured strain signal into the displacement response is suggested, while the measured strain signal can be obtained using fiber optic Bragg-grating (FBG) sensors. To overcome such a problem, a mode decomposition technique was used in this study. The measured strain signal is decomposed into each modal component by using the empirical mode decomposition(EMD) as one of mode decomposition techniques. Then, the decomposed strain signals on each modal component are transformed into the modal displacement components. And the corresponding mode shapes can be also estimated by using the proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) from the measured strain signal. Thus, total displacement response could be predicted from combining the modal displacement components.

Previous long-term measurements of the Uldolmok tidal current power plant showed that the structure's natural frequencies fluctuate with a constant cycle-i.e., twice a day with changes in tidal height and tidal current velocity. This study aims to improve structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for offshore structures under a harsh tidal environment like the Uldolmok Strait. In this study, lab-scale experiments on a simplified offshore structure as a lab-scale test structure were conducted in a circulating water channel to thoroughly investigate the causes of fluctuation of the natural frequencies and to validate the displacement estimation method using multimetric data fusion. To this end, the numerical study was additionally carried out on the simplified offshore structure with damage scenarios, and the corresponding change in the natural frequency was analyzed to support the experimental results. In conclusion, (1) the damage that occurred at the foundation resulted in a more significant change in natural frequencies compared with the effect of added mass; moreover, the structural system became nonlinear when the damage was severe; (2) the proposed damage index was able to indicate an approximate level of damage and the nonlinearity of the lab-scale test structure; (3) displacement estimation using data fusion was valid compared with the reference displacement using the vision-based method.

초음파 의료용 변형률 영상에서 화질을 향상시키기 위해서는 정확한 변위를 계산하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 방향의 움직임에 의한 변위를 구할 때 1차원 변위 계산법을 적용하기 위하여 초음파 신호의 축방향 변위와 측방향 변위를 분리하여 계산하였다. 측방향 변위를 계산하기 위하여, 측방향으로 정렬된 1차원 신호를 해석 신호 (analytic signal)로 변환한 뒤 상호상관방법을 이용하였다. 제안한 측방향 변위계산 알고리즘을 이용하여 구한 측방향 변위로 측방향 움직임을 보상한 뒤에, 다시 축방향 변위를 구하여 변형률 영상을 얻었다. 제안한 방법으로 얻은 변형률 영상은, 기존의 축방향 변위만 계산하여 얻은 변형률 영상에 비해 신호 대 잡음비와 명암대비 대 잡음비에서 향상됨을 팬텀과 인체 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

A frequency-domain PES estimation and its prediction method are proposed for the tightly-coupled servo/mechanical design of high-TPI HDD system above 100 kTPI. The major two disturbance energies which are related with mechanical vibrations inside of HDD are used to predict the drive-level PES, while considering closed-loop servo dynamics. One is the torque disturbance which mainly comes from aerodynamic excitation of HSA system and the other is the displacement disturbance from disk-spindle dynamics. In order to obtain the accurate error transfer function of closed-loop servo control, the plant model is measured by accurate experiment. The measured PES is compared with predicted one in terms of frequency-domain PES spectrum and its standard variation value. It is proved that the proposed frequency-domain PES estimation/prediction method is capable of predicting drive-level PES of high-TPI hard disk drive.

A reliable tool wear monitoring technique is the one of important aspects for achieving an integrated and self-adjusting manufacturing system. In this paper, a tool wear estimation approach for turning is proposed. This approach uses the model of cutting force, spindle displacement and their relation. A series of experiments were conducted by designing experimental techniques to determine the relationship between flank wear and cutting force coefficient as well as cutting parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut and feed. The proposed model performance has shown that the spindle displacement model predicts tool wear with high accuracy and spindle displacement signal is possible to replace cutting force signal.

To estimate structural displacement, a visually servoed paired structured light system (ViSP) was proposed in previous studies. The ViSP is composed of two sides facing each other, each with one or two laser pointers, a 2-DOF manipulator, a camera, and a screen. By calculating the positions of the laser beams projected onto the screens and rotation angles of the manipulators, relative 6-DOF displacement between two sides can be estimated. Although the performance of the system has been verified through various simulations and experimental tests, it has a limitation that the accuracy of the displacement measurement depends on the alignment of the laser pointers. In deriving the kinematic equation of the ViSP, the laser pointers were assumed to be installed perfectly normal to the same side screen. In reality, however, this is very difficult to achieve due to installation errors. In other words, the pose of laser pointers should be calibrated carefully before measuring the displacement. To calibrate the initial pose of the laser pointers, a specially designed jig device is made and employed. Experimental tests have been performed to validate the performance of the proposed calibration method and the results show that the estimated displacement with the initial pose calibration increases the accuracy of the 6-DOF displacement estimation.

Due to neutron radiation, atomic displacement has a significant effect on material in nuclear reactors. A range of secondary displacement models, including the Kinchin-Pease (K-P), Lindhard, Norgett-Robinson-Torrens (NRT), and athermal recombination-corrected displacement per atom (arc-dpa) have been suggested to calculate the number of displacement per atom (dpa). As neutron elastic interaction is the main cause of displacement damage, the focus of the current study is to calculate the atomic displacement caused by the neutron elastic interaction in order to estimate the exact amount of yield strength in a WWER-1000 reactor pressure vessel. To achieve this purpose, the reactor core is simulated by MCNPX code. In addition, a program is developed to calculate the elastic radiation damage induced by the incident neutron flux (RADIX) based on different models using Fortran programming language. Also, due to non-elastic interaction, the displacement damage is calculated by the HEATR module of the NJOY code. ASME E-693-01 standard, SPECTER, NJOY codes, and other pervious findings have been used to validate RADIX results. The results showed that the RADIX(arc-dpa)/HEATR outputs have appropriate accuracy. The relative error of the calculated dpa resulting from RADIX(arc-dpa)/HEATR is about 8% and 46% less than NJOY code, respectively in the ¼ and ¾ vessel wall.

구조물의 변위이력은 구조물의 전체적인 거동을 나타내는 인자의 시간에 대한 이력이므로 이를 추정하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 일반적으로 구조물의 상태를 평가하는데 있어 직관적으로 신뢰할 수 있는 물리량이다. 특히, 교량의 경우 차량 하중에 의해 발생되는 수직 변위를 알아내는 것은 교량에 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 미연에 확인할 수 있어 매우 중요한 부분이다. 하지만 시공된 교량의 수직 변위를 측정하는 것은 실험여건 및 장비의 제약조건 등으로 인해서 직접적으로 측정하는 것이 매우 힘든 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 대상 교량들에 대한 제약조건을 극복하고 변위응답을 추정할 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위해 임의의 차량하중에 의해서 측정되는 변형률과 변위를 인공신경망에 적용하였다. 인공신경망에 적용하는 축방향 변형률과 수직방향 변위에 대한 학습 자료를 획득하기 위해서 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 실제 교통 상황을 반영하기 위해서 교량을 통과하는 차량의 종류와 차간 거리에 대한 차량이동하중 시나리오를 작성하여 시공된 교량의 실제 교통상황에 따른 차량 이동 하중이 가해지도록 모델링하였다. 인공신경망을 이용한 학습 결과에 따라 임의의 하중에 의해 발생되는 교량의 변형률에 대한 변위를 추정하였고, 인공신경망을 사용하여 추정된 변위 결과가 수치해석을 통한 변위를 잘 표현하는 것을 확인하였다.
