Abstract

This paper describes the smart structural system that uses smart materials for real-time monitoring and active control of bolted joints in steel structures. The impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques, which utilize the electro-mechanical coupling property of piezoelectric materials, was used to detect loose bolts in bolted joints. By monitoring the measured electrical impedance and comparing it with the measured baseline, a bolt loosening damage was detected. The damage was evaluated quantitatively using the damage metrics in conductance signature with respect to the healthy states. When loosening damage was detected in the bolted joint, the external heater actuated the shape memory alloy (SMA) washer. Then the heated SMA washer expanded axially and adjusted the bolt tension to restore the lost torque. An experiment was conducted by integrating the piezoelectric-material-based SHM function and the SMA-based active control function on a bolted joint, after which the performance of thesmart self-healing joint system was investigated.

본 연구는 압전 센서를 이용한 구조물의 실시간 모니터링과 강구조물 볼트접합부의 동적 컨트롤이 가능한 자가치유 시스템에 관한 것이다. 볼트접합부의 볼트 풀림 손상 탐색을 위해서 압전 물질의 전기역학적 커플링 성질을 이용하는 임피던스 기반의 구조물건전성평가 기법을 이용하였다. 계측된 임피던스 값을 기준치 값과 비교함으로써 볼트 풀림 손상 진단이 가능하다. 볼트 풀림 손상은 손상지수를 이용하여 정량적으로 평가되어지고, 손상이 진단되면 형상기억합금 와셔에 감겨있는 외부히터가 와셔에 열을 가하게 된다. 열이 가해진 형상기억합금 와셔는 축방향으로 팽창하고, 볼트접합부는 볼트풀림으로 인해 잃어버린 토크력을 회복하게 된다. 압전 센서를 이용한 임피던스 기반의 구조물건전성 평가기법과 형상기억합금 기반의 볼트접합부 동적 컨트롤 기능과 이를 이용한 자가치유 볼트접합부 시스템의 적용가능성과 성능을 실험을 통해 평가하였다.
