Abstract

How to efficiently and accurately detect the damages generated in a structure has become an important issue for structural health monitoring (SHM). Most existing SHM techniques require the baseline data which should be measured before a structure get damaged. Thus, this paper presents a new pitch-catch method-based SHM technique which will not require the baseline data any more. In the proposed SHM technique, the imaging method is also utilized to visualize damage locations. The proposed SHM technique is then validated through the damage detection texts for damaged aluminum plates.

구조물 건전성 모니터 링에서 구조물에 발생한 손상을 어떠한 방법으로 가장 효율적이고 정확하게 탐지하느냐는 매우 중요한 연구과제이다. 기존의 대부분 SHM기술에서는 구조물에 손상이 발생하기 이전에 측정해 놓은 탄성파신호를 손상 검출을 위한 기준 데이터로서 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Lamb파를 이용하는 pitch-catch (PC)-기법을 기반으로 기준 데이터를 필요로 하지 않는 새로운 SHM기술을 제안하였다. 또한 손상 신호에 이미지화 기법을 적용하여 손상의 위치를 이미지화 함으로써 손쉽게 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 SHM기술은 알루미늄 평판 시편에 대한 실험을 통해 응용 가능성을 고찰하였다.
