This paper presents a novel method based on sensitivity of structural response for identifying both the system parameters and input excitation force of a bridge. This method, referred to as "Adjoint Variable Method", is a sensitivity-based finite element model updating method. The computational cost of sensitivity analyses is the main concern associated with damage detection by these methods. The main advantage of proposed method is inclusion of an analytical method to augment the accuracy and speed of the solution. The reliable performance of the method to precisely indentify the location and intensity of all types of predetermined single, multiple and random damages over the whole domain of moving vehicle speed is shown. A comparison study is also carried out to demonstrate the relative effectiveness and upgraded performance of the proposed method in comparison to the similar ordinary sensitivity analysis methods. Moreover, various sources of error including the effects of noise and primary errors on the numerical stability of the proposed method are discussed.

가변진폭 하중에서 고무부품의 피로수명 예측방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 서로 다른 변위에서 변위제어 피로시험을 수행하였으며 피로손상변수로 최대 Green-Lagrange 변형률을 선정하였다. Green-Lagrange 변형률에 의한 고무의 피로수명 곡선은 3차원 덤벨시편의 비선형 유한요소법을 이용하여 결정하였다. 피로수명 예측을 위하여 가변진폭 하중이력으로 SAE의 하중이력을 이용하였다. 레이스트랙법과 단순화된 레인플로집계법을 이용하여 하중이력신호를 축약하였다. 누적손상피로를 계산하는 방법으로 수정Miner 법칙을 이용하였으며, 최종적으로 하중이력신호에서 최대 진폭의 30% 이하를 노이즈로 간주하여 예측하였을 경우의 피로수명은 실제 가변진폭 하중 하에서의 피로시험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

This study utilizes the fine-tuning and small-digit characteristics of the successive zooming genetic algorithm (SZGA) to propose a method of structural damage detection in a continuum structure, where the differences in the natural frequencies of a structure obtained by experiment and FEM are compared and minimized using an assumed location and extent of structural damage. The final methodology applied to the structural damage detection is a kind of pseudo-discrete-variable-algorithm that counts the soundness variables as one (perfectly sound) if they are above a certain standard, such as 0.99. This methodology is based on the fact that most well-designed structures exhibit failures at some critical point due to manufacturing error, while the remaining region is free of damage. Thus, damage of 1% (depending on the given standard) or less can be neglected, and the search concentrated on finding more serious failures. It is shown that the proposed method can find out the exact structural damage of the monitored structure and reduce the time and amount of computation.

This paper presents the findings of a study in which students at a four-year university were surveyed in an effort to analyze and verify the differences in perceived security awareness, security-related activities, and security damage experiences when using smartphones, based on demographic variables such as gender, academic year, and college major. Moreover, the perceived security awareness items and security-related activities were tested to verify whether they affect the students' security damage experience. Based on survey data obtained from 592 participants, the findings indicate that demographic differences exist for some of the survey question items. The majority of the male students replied "affirmative" to some of the questions related to perceived security awareness and "enthusiastic" to questions about security-related activities. Some academic year differences exist in the responses to perceived security awareness and security-related activities. On the whole, freshmen had the lowest level of security awareness. Security alert seems to be very high in sophomores, but it decreases as the students become older. While the difference in perceived security awareness based on college major was not significant, the difference in some security-related activities based on that variable was significant. No significant difference was found in some items such as storing private information in smartphones and frequency of implementation of security applications based on the college major variable. However, differences among the college majors were verified in clicking hyperlinks in unknown SMS messages and in the number of security applications in smartphones. No differences were found in security damage experiences based on gender, academic year, and college major. Security awareness items had no impact on the experience of security damage in smartphones. However, some security activities, such as storing resident registration numbers in a smartphone, clicking hyperlinks in unknown SMS messages, the number of security apps in a smartphone, and the frequency of implementation of security apps did have an impact on security damage.

Nowadays, many engineers believe that hybrid structures with reinforced concrete central core walls and perimeter steel frames offer an economical method to develop the strength and stiffness required for seismic design. As a result, a variety of such structures have recently been applied in actual construction. However, the performance-based seismic design of such structures has not been investigated systematically. In the performance-based seismic design, quantifying the seismic damage of complete structures by damage indices is one of the fundamental issues. Four damage states and the final softening index at each state for high-rise hybrid structures are suggested firstly in this paper. Based on nonlinear dynamic analysis, the relation of the maximum inter-story drift, the main structural characteristics, and the final softening index is obtained. At the same time, the relation between the maximum inter-story drift and the maximum roof displacement over the height is also acquired. A double-variable index accounting for maximum deformation and cumulative energy is put forward based on the pushover analysis. Finally, a case study is conducted on a high-rise hybrid structure model tested on shaking table before to verify the suggested quantities of damage indices.

This paper presents the quantification and location damage detection of plane and space truss structures in a two-phase method to reduce the computations efforts significantly. In the first phase, a proposed damage indicator based on the residual force vector concept is used to get the suspected damaged members. In the second phase, using damage quantification as a variable, a teaching-learning based optimization algorithm (TLBO) is used to obtain the damage quantification value of the suspected members obtained in the first phase. TLBO is a relatively modern algorithm that has proved distinguished in solving optimization problems. For more verification of TLBO effeciency, the classical particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used in the second phase to make a comparison between TLBO and PSO algorithms. As it is clear, the first phase reduces the search space in the second phase, leading to considerable reduction in computations efforts. The method is applied on three examples, including plane and space trusses. Results have proved the capability of the proposed method to precisely detect the quantification and location of damage easily with low computational efforts, and the efficiency of TLBO in comparison to the classical PSO.

The values of a linguistic variable are words, phrases, or sentences in a given language. For example, structural damage can be considered as linguistic variable with values such a 'severely damaged', 'moderately damaged', which are meaningful classifications but not clearly defined, This paper is to evaluate reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity with the aid of fuzzy sets theory. By using the above mentioned fuzzy measure, the concept of fuzzy integral and linear membership function can be defined. It is concluded that the fuzzy sets theory cam be applied to determine reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity.

도심지 지하에 위치하며 고온, 고압조건에서 운영되는 열수송관은 파손 시 인적, 경제적으로 대규모 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 파손을 사전에 예측하기 위해 기존 파손이력과 설비이력을 분석하여 파손빈도와 상관관계를 가지는 독립변수를 도출하고, 각 변수를 활용한 단순회귀분석 변형모델이 현장에 적용되고 있다. 다만, 모델에 적용되는 독립변수간 상관관계가 클수록 변수간 독립성이 훼손되어 모델의 신뢰성이 낮아진다. 본 연구에서는 상호 연관성을 가지는 것으로 판단되는 관경, 매설깊이, 감시시스템 절연레벨, 감지선의 단선 또는 단락의 독립성을 검정하여 파손빈도 추정모델에 적용하기 위해 필요한 변수간 결합 및 범주 설정 방안을 도출하였다. 독립성 검정을 위해 연속형 변수인 관경과 매설깊이는 각각 3개의 범주, 감시시스템 절연레벨은 2개의 범주로 변환하였으며, 범주형 변수인 감시시스템 감지선 상태는 범주를 그대로 2개로 유지하였다. 독립성 검정 결과, 관경과 매설깊이간, 감시시스템 절연레벨과 감지선의 단선 또는 단락간 유의확률이 유의수준(α = 0.05)보다 작아 상호간 상관관계가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 관경과 매설깊이를 하나의 변수로 결합하고 사전에 설정한 범주를 고려하여 결합 변수의 범주는 9개로 설정하였다. 감시시스템 절연레벨과 감지선의 단선 또는 단락 역시 하나의 변수로 결합하였으며, 감지선 상태가 단선 또는 단락인 경우 절연레벨값을 신뢰할 수 없으므로 결합 변수의 범주는 3개로 설정하였다.

Strip drawing of strain-hardening, viscoplastic materials with damage is analyzed by a rigid plastic finite element method. A process model is formulated using two state variables, one for strain hardening from slip dominated plastic distortion and the other for damage from growth of microvoids. Application of the model to aluminum strip drawing is given via implementation in a consistent penalty finite element formulation. The predicted density changes as a result of void growth are compared to those from experiments reported in the literature. The effects of drawing conditions such as drawing speed and die angle on the mechanical property chages are studied.
