광섬유센서를 이용한 복합적층판의 피로손상 감지 및 진동측정, 그리고 스틸 보에 대한 충격위치 검출에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 피로과정중의 신호는 복합재료 내에 삽입된 광섬유와 표면에 부착한 광강도형 광섬유센서, 그리고 스트레인게이지로부터 동시에 측정되었다. 진동감지 실험은 복합재료 보의 표면에 광섬유센서를 부착하여 자유진동 및 강제진동 신호를 취득하였다. 충격위치 검출에 관한 실험에서 충격위치는 충격에 의해 발생된 구조물의 진동이 두 센서에 도달하는 시간의 차를 이용하여 구할 수 있다. 광강도형 광섬유센서를 이용하여 반복 피로 신호를 잘 취득할 수 있었으며 스트레인게이지에 비하여 피로저항성이 우수함이 확인되었다. 광섬유센서는 갭센서와 동일하게 진동신호를 감지하였고 구조물에 가해진 충격위치를 비교적 정확히 검출할 수 있었다.

In this study, low-velocity impact damage (LVID) in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) was investigated using pulse thermography (PT) and lock-in thermography (LIT) techniques. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the detection performance of each technique for LVID in GFRP. Unidirectional and cross-ply GFRPs were prepared with four energy levels using a drop weight impact machine and they were inspected from the impact side, which may be common in actual service conditions. When the impacted side was used for both inspection and thermal loading, results showed that the suggested techniques were able to identify the LVID which is barely visible to the naked eye. However, they also include limitations that depend on the GFRP thickness at the location of the delamination produced by the lowest impact energy of five joule.

System identification techniques can be used to build a baseline modal model for a flawed structure that has no modal information on its as-built state. The accuracy of a system identification proposed by Stubbs and Kim is analyzed for plate-girder bridges and its impact on the accuracy of damage detection in those structures is also analyzed. A laboratory-scale model plate-girder is experimentally tested and the initial four bending modes are examined for certain damage scenarios. The performance of individual baseline modal models is assessed by detecting damage in the model structure.

The objective of this paper is to assess the variability of modal properties caused by temperature effects and to adjust modal data used for frequency-based damage detection in plate-girder bridges. First, experiments on model plate-girder bridges are described. Next, the relationship between temperature and natural frequencies is assessed and a set of empirical frequency-correction formula are analyzed for the test structure. Finally, a frequency-based method is used to locate and estimate severity of damage in the test structure using experimental modal data which are adjusted by the frequency-correction formula. Here, local damage in beam-type structures is detected by using measured frequencies and analytical mode shapes.

항공기 구조물 표면에 발생하는 외부 충격은 크랙과 같은 손상을 발생시킬 수 있으며 이는 차후 큰 결함을 야기하기 때문에 충격과 손상을 탐지하고 위치를 추정하는 것은 구조 안정성 모니터링에 있어 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 능동, 수동 센싱기법을 조합한 L-형상 압전체 센서 배열을 사용하여 충격과 손상을 탐지할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 수동 센싱기법으로 1개 센서군 당 3개의 센서를 L-형상으로 배치하여 충격 발생 각도를 추정하고 2개의 센서군을 사용하여 충격위치를 탐지하는 방법을 도입하였다. 이 수동 센싱기법을 유도초음파 기반의 능동 센싱기법에 확대 적용하여 동일한 압전소자로 충격 탐지와 더불어 손상을 탐지할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 이 기법은 방향에 따른 파동의 속도 변화와 같은 구조물에 대한 정보 없이도 위치 추정이 가능하여 비등방성 구조 내에서도 정확한 충격 및 손상 위치 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 개발된 기법을 날개 형태 구조물 및 CFRP 판에 적용하여 실험적으로 정확한 충격 및 손상 위치를 추정할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

The potential hazards resulting from a low-velocity impact(bird-strike, tool drop, runway debris, etc.) on aircraft structures, such as engine nacelle or leading edges has been a long-term concern to the aircraft industry. Certification authorities require that exposed aircraft components must be tested to prove their capability to withstand low-velocity impact without suffering critical damage. In most of the past research studies unloaded specimens have been used for impact tests, however, in reality it is much more likely that a composite structure is exposed to a certain stress state when it is being impacted, which can have a significant effect on the impact performance. And the radiated impact sound induced by impact is analyzed for the damage detection evaluation. In this study, an investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effect in-plane loading on the impact force and sound of composite laminates numerically.

Vibration-based damage detection methods are popular for structural health monitoring. However, they can only detect fairly large damages. Usually impact pulse, ambient vibrations and sine-wave forces are applied as the excitations. In this paper, we propose the method to use the chaotic excitation to vibrate structures. The attractors built from the output responses are used for the minor damage detection. After the damage is detected, it is further quantified using the Kalman Filter. Simulations are conducted. A 5-story building is subjected to chaotic excitation. The structural responses and related attractors are analyzed. The results show that the attractor distances increase monotonously with the increase of the damage degree. Therefore, damages, including minor damages, can be effectively detected using the proposed approach. With the Kalman Filter, damage which has the stiffness decrease of about 5% or lower can be quantified. The proposed approach will be helpful for detecting and evaluating minor damages at the early stage.

Recently, a number of underground pipelines have been drastically increased. The integrity of these buried pipelines, especially gas transmitting pipelines, is of importance due to an explosive characteristic of natural gas. The third party damage is known as one of the most critical factor which causes fatal accidents. For this reason, a number of systems detecting third party damage are under development. The major concern in the development of third party damage detection system is to transmit vibration signals out of accelerometer to signal conditioner and data acquisition system without any interference caused by noise. The objective of this paper is to develope a fiber optic accelerometer applicable to third party damage detection system. A fiber optic accelerometer was developed by use of combining principles of one degree of freedom vibration model and an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer. The developed fiber optic accelerometer was designed to perform with a sensitivity of 0.06mVg, a frequency range of less than 6kHz and an amplitude range of -200g to 200g. The developed, accelerometer was compared with a piezoelectric accelerometer and calibrated. In order to verify the developed accelerometer, the field experiment was performed. From the field experiment, vibration signals and the location of impact were successfully detected. The developed accelerometer is expected to be used for the third party damage detection system which requires long distance transmission of signals.

Traditional approaches for structural health monitoring (SHM) seldom take ambient uncertainty (temperature, humidity, ambient vibration) into consideration, while their impacts on structural responses are substantial, leading to a possibility of raising false alarms. A few predictors model-based approaches deal with these uncertainties through complex numerical models running online, rendering the SHM approach to be compute-intensive, slow, and sometimes not practical. Also, with model-based approaches, the imperative need for a precise understanding of the structure often poses a problem for not so well understood complex systems. The present study employs a data-based approach coupled with Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to correlate recorded response time histories under varying temperature conditions to corresponding damage scenarios. EMD decomposes the response signal into a finite set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). A two-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (2DCNN) is further trained to associate these IMFs to the respective damage cases. The use of IMFs in place of raw signals helps to reduce the impact of sensor noise while preserving the essential spatio-temporal information less-sensitive to thermal effects and thereby stands as a better damage-sensitive feature than the raw signal itself. The proposed algorithm is numerically tested on a single span bridge under varying temperature conditions for different damage severities. The dynamic strain is recorded as the response since they are frame-invariant and cheaper to install. The proposed algorithm has been observed to be damage sensitive as well as sufficiently robust against measurement noise.
