Shear connectors are generally used to link the slab and girders together in slab-on-girder bridge structures. Damage of shear connectors in such structures will result in shear slippage between the slab and girders, which significantly reduces the load-carrying capacity of the bridge. Because shear connectors are buried inside the structure, routine visual inspection is not able to detect conditions of shear connectors. A few methods have been proposed in the literature to detect the condition of shear connectors based on vibration measurements. This paper proposes a different dynamic condition assessment approach to identify the damage of shear connectors in slab-on-girder bridge structures based on power spectral density transmissibility (PSDT). PSDT formulates the relationship between the auto-spectral densities of two responses in the frequency domain. It can be used to identify shear connector conditions with or without reference data of the undamaged structure (or the baseline). Measured impact force and acceleration responses from hammer tests are analyzed to obtain the frequency response functions at sensor locations by experimental modal analysis. PSDT from the slab response to the girder response is derived with the obtained frequency response functions. PSDT vectors in the undamaged and damaged states can be compared to identify the damage of shear connectors. When the baseline is not available, as in most practical cases, PSDT vectors from the measured response at a reference sensor to those of the slab and girder in the damaged state can be used to detect the damage of shear connectors. Numerical and experimental studies on a concrete slab supported by two steel girders are conducted to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach. Identification results demonstrate that damages of shear connectors are identified accurately and efficiently with and without the baseline. The proposed method is also used to evaluate the conditions of shear connectors in a real composite bridge with in-field testing data.

This paper presents the technique using wavelet analysis to solve the seismic response of a steam turbine-generator rotor system subjected to earthquake excitations. A brief review of the wavelet transform and its discretization, time-frequency representation of the earthquake wave and the seismic response for a rotor system is presented. The Daubechies wavelet has been used for describing the time-frequency characteristics of the input and the response in case of a recorded accelerogram during 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu earthquake. Also, the results in the wavelet domain has been illustrated through comparison with the time domain simulation results.

본 논문에서는 주파수 응답함수에서의 고유진동수를 나타내는 피크와 추가적 정보를 제공하는 제로를 이용하여 구조물의 손상탐지와 손상도를 추정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 주파수 응답함수의 이론적 고찰을 통하여 주파수 응답함수 내의 피크와 제로를 정의하고, 강성 및 질량행렬, 주파수 응답행렬의 상관관계로부터 고유치 해석을 통하여 피크와 제로를 구하는 방법을 상세히 설명하였다. 부재 강성의 고유치(피크 및 제로)에 대한 민감도 분석을 이용한 구조계 추정기법의 이론을 정립하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법은 고유 진동수 및 제로진동수를 이용하여 구조부재의 강성을 역으로 추정하여 실제 구조물과 가장 근접한 수치해석 모델을 만드는 것으로 이 과정에서 손상의 위치와 손상도를 추정할 수 있다. 제안한 이론의 정확성과 타당성은 스프링-매스 시스템과 보구조물의 수치해석 모델에 적용하여 입증하였다.

A multi-resonant broadband acoustic transducer with six Tonpilz elements operating at different resonant frequencies in a transducer assembly was fabricated, tested, and analyzed. A compensated transducer, modified by adding series inductance to the developed multi-resonant broadband transducer, was shown to provide improved bandwidth performance with a relatively more uniform frequency response compared with the uncompensated transducer. By controlling the series inductance, flat frequency response characteristics at two frequency bands were obtained over the range 38-52 kHz with 1.1 mH inductance and 50-60 kHz with 0.4 mH inductance. These results suggest that the operating frequency of the developed multi-resonant broadband transducer in a chirp echo sounder can be shifted to a different frequency band that is optimized according to the environment for more effective echo surveys of fishing grounds.

In the case of control for mechanical systems, it is highly useful to be able to provide a compact model of the mechanical system to control engineers using the smallest number of state variables, while still providing an accurate model. The reduced mechanical model can then be inserted into the complete system models and used for extended system-level dynamic simulation. In this paper, moment-matching based model order reductions (MOR) using Krylov subspaces, which reduce the number of degrees of freedom of an original finite element model via the Arnoldi process, are presented to study the eigenvalue and frequency response problems of a HDD actuator and suspension system.

This article identifies and addresses current limitations on the use of numerical models for validation and/or calibration of damage detection methodologies that are based on the analysis of the high frequency response of the structure to identify the occurrence of abrupt anomalies. Distributed-plasticity non-linear fiber-based models in combination with experimental data from a full-scale reinforced concrete column test are used to point out current modeling techniques limitations. It was found that the numerical model was capable of reproducing the global and local response of the structure at a wide range of inelastic demands, including the occurrences of rebar ruptures. However, when abrupt sudden damage occurs, like rebar fracture, a high frequency pulse is detected in the accelerations recorded in the structure that the numerical model is incapable of reproducing. Since the occurrence of such pulse is fundamental on the detection of damage, it is proposed to add this effect to the simulated response before it is used for validation purposes.

혼성신호 회로에 발생할 수 있는 각종 파라메트릭 폴트를 검사하기 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. LFSR에서 발생하는 랜덤신호를 사용하여 테스트 입력으로 사용하며, 웨이블릿으로 테스트 출력을 분석하고 압축하는 방법을 사용한다. 웨이블릿은 테스트 출력을 다른 여러 주파수 대역으로 분석하여 각각에 대한 응답 신호를 발생시킨다. 각각의 신호는 디지털 적분기를 사용하여 압축된다. LFSR에서 발생된 테스트 입력신호는 전체 주파수 영역에서 일정한 값을 유지하게 되며 따라서 multi-frequency 응답을 발생시켜 준다. 제안된 방법은 실험을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다.

The styling of automobile wheels and their effect on vehicle appearance has increased in importance in recent years. The wheel designer has been given the task of insuring that a wheel design meets its engineering objectives without affecting the styling theme. The wheel and tire system is considered as a vehicle component whose dynamic modal information of the tire/wheel system are employed in the modal synthesis model of the vehicle. The vibration characteristics of a automobile wheel play an important role to judge a ride comfort and quality for a automobile. In this paper, the vibration characteristics of a Al-alloy and steel wheel for automobile are studied. Natural frequency, damping and mode shape are determined experimentally by frequency response function method. Results show that wheel material property, size and design are parameter for shift of natural frequency and damping.

The resonant frequency of a gas-filled cylindrical Helmholtz resonator in a liquid is obtained analytically. The equation of motion of the resonator is derived by using the condition of equilibrium of forces acting on the mass in the neck of the resonator. The reaction force on the upper side of the cylinder due to the acceleration of external fluid and sound radiation is obtained by using the analytical results for the baffled circular-piston problem. From the frequency response function of the resonator, a formula to predict the resonant frequency of the resonator is derived. It is shown that the resonant frequency of the Helmholtz resonator significantly decreases due to the cushioning effect of gas inside the cavity. Therefore, when a pressure transducer is to be installed in a pin-hole type mounting method, much care should be paid to remove the gas from the cavity.
