Abstract

The Vector Random Decrement technique has been developed as an efficient method for transforming ambient responses into free decays of linear structures. It is shown that the VRD functions nay contain as much information about the modes as the really measured free decay responses. In this paper, the theory of the VRD technique is extended by applying the concept of the mode shape ratio into the Ibrahim Time Domain modal parameter identification algorithm. The VRD function is not shifted in the correction procedures for constant time shifts of the proposed VRD technique. Thus, a number of points equal to the largest of the time shifts used in the vector triggering condition are not deleted. In the VRD functions, any influence of the input to the system is averaged out. The proposed technique is compared with the traditional VRD technique by assessment of the modal parameters. The applicability of the VRD technique has been justified through a simulation study and a study of the response of a laboratory beam model subject to ambient loads.

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.
