일반적으로 해양개발을 위하여 사용되는 재킷식 해양 구조물은 염분, 조류, 파도, 바람 등 극심한 환경적 요인에 의해 육상 시설물에 비해 열악한 환경에 노출되어 있으나, 이러한 구조물의 구조적 안전성 및 성능 확보를 위한 모니터링 시스템의 적용사례는 그다지 많지 않다. 임피던스 기반의 구조물 건전성 모니터링은 구조물의 국부적인 손상을 모니터링하는 기술로서 최근 실 구조물에의 적용에 대한 연구가 국내외에서 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나, 온도, 하중 등의 환경적 요인에 의한 영향을 최소화하고 손상에 의한 특성만을 효과적으로 추출하는 기술은 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재킷식 조류발전 지지구조물의 축소모형을 제작하여 온도와 정적 하중이 변하는 환경 하에서 임피던스 기반의 국부적 손상 모니터링에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 환경에 의한 영향을 보상하기 위하여 기존의 손상지수에 대해 주성분 분석을 수행하였으며 환경 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 주성분을 선택하여 제거하였다. 이 후 손상지수를 모니터링한 결과, 제안된 주성분 분석 기반 접근법이 환경 영향 하에서의 장기 모니터링에 유효하게 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an advanced computational method for the prediction of the responses in the frequency domain of general linear dissipative structural-acoustic and fluid-structure systems, in the low-and medium-frequency domains and this includes uncertainty quantification. The system under consideration is constituted of a deformable dissipative structure that is coupled with an internal dissipative acoustic fluid. This includes wall acoustic impedances and it is surrounded by an infinite acoustic fluid. The system is submitted to given internal and external acoustic sources and to the prescribed mechanical forces. An efficient reduced-order computational model is constructed by using a finite element discretization for the structure and an internal acoustic fluid. The external acoustic fluid is treated by using an appropriate boundary element method in the frequency domain. All the required modeling aspects for the analysis of the medium-frequency domain have been introduced namely, a viscoelastic behavior for the structure, an appropriate dissipative model for the internal acoustic fluid that includes wall acoustic impedance and a model of uncertainty in particular for the modeling errors. This advanced computational formulation, corresponding to new extensions and complements with respect to the state-of-the-art are well adapted for the development of a new generation of software, in particular for parallel computers.

CFRP보강공법은 구조물에 내하력을 증가시키기 위해 사용되고 있으며 실제 교량에 적용빈도가 높고 연구 활용성에 대한 기대가 큰 공법이다. CFRP로 보강된 콘크리트 구조물은 외부에 에폭시 등으로 접착된 CFRP로 인하여 휨파괴 및 전단파괴 외에 부착파괴가 추가적으로 발생하게 되며 이러한 부착파괴가 전체거동을 지배하게 되는 경우가 대부분이며, 취성파괴를 유발하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 CFRP 부착파괴에 대한 모니터링은 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 국부적인 손상 파악에 유리한 PZT센서를 이용한 임피던스 기반 손상검색 방법을 사용하여 콘크리트 균열과 CFRP 부착파괴 모니터링에 대한 적용가능성을 검증해 보았다.

Recently, researchers in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) have been rigorously striving to replace the conventional NDE techniques with the smart material based SHM techniques, employing smart materials such as piezoelectric materials. For instance, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing piezo-impedance (lead zirconate titanate, PZT) transducer is known for its sensitivity in detecting local damage. For practical applications, various external factors such as fluctuations of temperature and loading, affecting the effectiveness of the EMI technique ought to be understood and compensated. This paper aims at investigating the damage monitoring capability of EMI technique in the presence of axial stress with fixed boundary condition. A compensation technique using effective frequency shift (EFS) by cross-correlation analysis was incorporated to compensate the effect of loading and boundary stiffening. Experimental tests were conducted by inducing damages on lab-sized aluminium beams in the presence of tensile and compressive forces. Two types of damages, crack propagation and bolts loosening were simulated. With EFS for compensation, both cross-correlation coefficient (CC) index and reduction in peak frequency were found to be efficient in characterizing damages in the presence of varying axial loading.

Damage monitoring is a prerequisite step to ensure the safety and performance of concrete structures. Smart aggregate (SA) technique has been proven for its advantage to detect early-stage internal cracks in concrete. In this study, a 1-D CNN-based method is developed for autonomously classifying the damage feature in a concrete anchorage zone using the raw impedance signatures of the embedded SA sensor. Firstly, an overview of the developed method is presented. The fundamental theory of the SA technique is outlined. Also, a 1-D CNN classification model using the impedance signals is constructed. Secondly, the experiment on the SA-embedded concrete anchorage zone is carried out, and the impedance signals of the SA sensor are recorded under different applied force levels. Finally, the feasibility of the developed 1-D CNN model is examined to classify concrete damage features via noise-contaminated signals. The results show that the developed method can accurately classify the damaged features in the concrete anchorage zone.

To obtain high power, diesel engines continuously increase combustion pressure and mean effective pressure each cylinder, and the excitation sources and noisy sources are increased, too. Moreover, to reduce the costs, shipyards make hull structures weaker than before. As above reasons, it is more difficult to control the vibration phenomenon nowadays. In this study, it was investigated why diesel generator sets reached the vibration allowable limits during the FAT and heavy vibration phenomenon of diesel generator sets using ODS test during onboard tests. Also, it is found out the stiffness of deck and common bed using the test result of their structural impedance. To find out the vibratory characteristics of diesel generator sets, model tests were carried out. From the sensitivity analysis after above tests, it was selected points to be reinforced and studied troubleshooting to solve heavy vibration phenomenon of diesel generator sets.

If a wall separates the bounded and unbounded spaces, then the wall's role in transporting the acoustic characteristics of the two spaces is not well defined. In this paper, we attempted to see how the acoustic characteristical of two spaces are really affected by the spatial characteristics of the wall. In order to understand coupling mechanism, we choose a finite space and a semi-infinite space separated by the flexible or rigid wall and an opening. A volume interaction can be occurred in structure boundary and a pressure interaction can be happened in the opening boundary. For its simplicity, without loosing generality, we use rather simplified rectangle model instead of generally shaped model. The source impedance is presented to the various types of boundaries. The distributions of pressure and active intensity are also presented at the cavity and structure-dominated modes. The resulting modification, shifts of mode1 frequencies and changing of standing wave patterns to satisfy both coupled boundary conditions and governing equations, are presented.

판과 같은 구조물의 손상 감지를 위해, 손상 전 구조물의 임피던스 신호를 기저신호(Baseline impedance signal)로 이용하여 직접적으로 비교하지 않는 새로운 개념의 무기저 손상진단 기법(Reference-free impedance method)을 제시한다. 박막 압전소자(이하 PZT)를 판의 상하 표면에 부착시킨 한 쌍의 병치 PZT를 이용하여 손상으로 인해 모드변환을 일으키는 전기역학적 신호(Electro Mechanical Signatures ; 이하 EMS)를 추출한다. 이 연구에서는 스펙트럼 요소법(Spectral Element Method ; 이하 SEM)을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 병치된 PZT의 EMS를 파악하기 위한 수치해석을 수행한다. 특히, 손상에 의해 발생된 모드변환 EMSMC를 병치된 PZT의 극성에 기인한 신호분해 기법을 적용하여 추출하고, 분해된 모드변환 EMSMC가 손상의 위치와 크기에 따라 받는 영향을 추가로 분석한다.

This paper is to investigate feasibility on quantitative aging state of epoxy coating on concrete wall in containment structure under operation of nuclear power plants. For evaluating the physical characteristics of the epoxy coating, adhesion strengths of two kinds of degraded epoxy coating systems on both steel surfaces and concrete surfaces were measured via accelerated aging. Comparatively impedance data taken by ultrasonic test were also taken to relate with adhesion data. After aging, in case of concrete, from half of specimens, aging of epoxy coating was developed. As for steel, on $4^{th}$ inspection day, adhesion force was failed. To improve reliability on quality degradation of epoxy, relationship between adhesion and impedance was analyzed. By tracing to co-respond to these data, it was possible to Fig. out physical state of as-built epoxy coating. The possibility to develop new methodology of time - dependent aging state on epoxy coating was found and discussed.
