As computer capability and test skill become more and more advanced, finite element method and modal test are being widely applied in engineering design. In order to correlate and reconcile the inevitable discrepancies between the analytical and experimental models, many techniques have been developed. Among these methods, multiple-system methods are known as the effective tools in that they can supply the rich modal data available which are experimentally obtained. These abundant modal data can help structural system parameters estimated well. Multiple-system methods can be classified into the structural modification methods and feedback controller methods. The structural modification methods need the physical attachment of structures and their concept may limit the application of them. To overcome this drawback, the feedback controller methods are addressed which enable us to get more modal data without the structural change. Mode decoupling controller(MDC), one of them, is to use acceleration out)ut feedback to perturb an open-loop system. The output feedback controller generally cannot guarantee the stability of a closed-loop system. However, MDC can solve this problem under the certain constraints. So far, MDC utilizes accelerations as the sensor signals. In this research, strain sensors are going to be picked up to apply to the MDC. Strain output is recently used for structural system identification due to the drastically improved and miniaturized strain sensor. In this paper, we show that the MDC using strain output has differences compared with acceleration output in estimating the structural system parameters. The associated simulation is performed to demonstrate the above mentioned characteristics.

Vector Random Decrement(VRD) 기법은 상시하중을 받는 선형의 구조물에서 동적응답의 장시간기록을 자유진동신호로 전환시키는 효과적인 알고리즘으로 발전되어 왔으며, 이에 따른 VRD함수는 실측한 자유감쇄응답과 거의 동일하게 모우드변수에 대한 정보를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 모우드형상비의 개념을 동특성 평가과정인 Ibrahim Time Domain (ITD) 알고리즘에 적용하여 VRD 기법을 개선하였다. 제안된 기법에서는 이동시간의 보정과정에서 VRD 함수가 변환되지 않기 때문에 벡터 트리거조건에 적용된 최대 이동시간 영역의 정보가 VRD 함수에 누락 없이 포함되고 입력하중의 영향은 평균과정에서 소거된다. 제안된 기법에 의한 모우드변수의 추정결과를 일반적인 Random Decrement(RD) 기법과 비교하였으며, VRD 기법의 적용성을 모의 예제해석과 상시하중이 재하된 보의 실내실험으로 검증하였다.

다자유도를 가진 구조계로 부터 얻어진 동적거동의 측정치를 이용하여 구조물의 모우드계수를 추정하는 시간영역방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 운동방정식을 실험적 모우드식으로 변환한 다음 이를 다시 이산시간 영역의 식인 ARMAX식으로 나타내었다. 순차적 예측 오차 방법을 이용하여 ARMAX식의 계수들을 추정한 후, 이들로 부터 구조물의 모우드 계수들을 계산하였다. 지진하중을 받는 3층 빌딩 구조물의 실험치를 이용하여 얻은 모우드 계수들은 서로 다른 실험간에 좋은 일치를 보였으며, 또한 계산된 계수들을 이용하여 다시 구한 구조물 응답의 시간이력들은 실험치들과 좋은 일치를 보였다.

To understand the dynamic characteristics of the vessel with hydroelastic response, it is very important to estimate the dynamic modal parameters such as mode shapes, natural frequency, and damping ratio. These dynamic modal parameters of full scale ship are a priori unknowns, hence to be estimated directly based upon the full scale measurement data. In this paper, dynamic modal parameters were extracted by signal processing of acceleration and strain data measured from a large container ship whose loading capacity is 9400TEU. The mode shapes of the vibrating hull were identified using the proper orthogonal decomposition and the vibration response of hull was decomposed into its modal magnitudes. Natural frequencies of specific modes were derived via Fourier transform of these modal magnitude. Also, the free decay signal of the vibrating hull was obtained through the random decrement technique and the damping ratio was estimated with accuracy.

Kriging surrogate model provides explicit functions to represent the relationships between the inputs and outputs of a linear or nonlinear system, which is a desirable advantage for response estimation and parameter identification in structural design and model updating problem. However, little research has been carried out in applying Kriging model to crack identification. In this work, a scheme for crack identification based on a Kriging surrogate model is proposed. A modified rectangular grid (MRG) is introduced to move some sample points lying on the boundary into the internal design region, which will provide more useful information for the construction of Kriging model. The initial Kriging model is then constructed by samples of varying crack parameters (locations and sizes) and their corresponding modal frequencies. For identifying crack parameters, a robust stochastic particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm is used to find the global optimal solution beyond the constructed Kriging model. To improve the accuracy of surrogate model, the finite element (FE) analysis soft ANSYS is employed to deal with the re-meshing problem during surrogate model updating. Specially, a simple method for crack number identification is proposed by finding the maximum probability factor. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental research are performed to assess the effectiveness and noise immunity of this proposed scheme.

The objective of this paper is to develop on-line system parameter estimation and damage detection technique from the response measurements through using the Recursive Covariance-Driven Stochastic Subspace identification (RSSI-COV) approach. To reduce the effect of noise on the results of identification, discussion on the pre-processing of data using recursive singular spectrum analysis (rSSA) is presented to remove the noise contaminant measurements so as to enhance the stability of data analysis. Through the application of rSSA-SSI-COV to the vibration measurement of bridge during scouring experiment, the ability of the proposed algorithm was proved to be robust to the noise perturbations and offers a very good online tracking capability. The accuracy and robustness offered by rSSA-SSI-COV provides a key to obtain the evidence of imminent bridge settlement and a very stable modal frequency tracking which makes it possible for early warning. The peak values of the identified $1^{st}$ mode shape slope ratio has shown to be a good indicator for damage location, meanwhile, the drastic movements of the peak of $2^{nd}$ mode slope ratio could be used as another feature to indicate imminent pier settlement.

The tension of an arch bridge hanger is estimated using a number of experimentally identified modal frequencies. The hanger is connected through metallic plates to the bridge deck and arch. Two different categories of model classes are considered to simulate the vibrations of the hanger: an analytical model based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, and a high-fidelity finite element (FE) model. A Bayesian parameter estimation and model selection method is used to discriminate between models, select the best model, and estimate the hanger tension and its uncertainty. It is demonstrated that the end plate connections and boundary conditions of the hanger due to the flexibility of the deck/arch significantly affect the estimate of the axial load and its uncertainty. A fixed-end high fidelity FE model of the hanger underestimates the hanger tension by more than 20 compared to a baseline FE model with flexible supports. Simplified beam models can give fairly accurate results, close to the ones obtained from the high fidelity FE model with flexible support conditions, provided that the concept of equivalent length is introduced and/or end rotational springs are included to simulate the flexibility of the hanger ends. The effect of the number of experimentally identified modal frequencies on the estimates of the hanger tension and its uncertainty is investigated.

A railway catenary system which supplies a train with electric power is an important system in determining the maximum speed of an electric train. However, a pantograph could be separated from a contact wire because of reciprocal action between a pantograph with constant upward force and a catenary system. The contact loss of a pantograph-catenary system is mainly affected by the dynamic characteristics of damping and wave propagation velocity of contact wire. For increasing speed of an electrical train, it is necessary to establish the techniques to identify the modal parameter of a catenary system through experiment. However, it is difficult to decouple each mode and to extract respect ive damping rat io since a catenary system has an extremely high modal density. For this reason, mode decoupling process to identify modal parameters is a principal technique in analyzing a catenary system. In this paper, the damping extract ion method for a catenary system using the continuous wavelet transform is discussed.

A non-destructive time domain approach to examine structural damage using parameterized partial differential equations and Galerkin approximation techniques is presented. The time domain analysis for damage detection is independent of modal parameters and analytical models unlike frequency domain methods which generally rely on analytical models. The time history of the vibration response of the structure was used to identify the presence of damage. Damage in a structure causes changes in the physical coefficients of mass density, elastic modulus and damping coefficients. This is a part of our ongoing effort on the general problem of modeling and parameter estimation for internal damping mechanisms in a composite beam. Namely, in detecting damage through time-domain or frequency-domain data from smart sensors, the common damages are changed in modal properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and mode shape curvature. This paper examines the use of beam-like structures with piezoceramic sensors and actuators to perform identification of those physical parameters, and detect the damage. Experimental results are presented from tests on cantilevered composite beams damaged at different locations and different dimensions. It is demonstrated that the method can sense the presence of damage and obtain the position of a damage.
