- Detection of Cracks in Aerospace Turbine Disks Using an Ultrasonic Phased Array C-scan Device
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 39-52, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2021.014815
- Abstract Crack detection in an aerospace turbine disk is essential for aircraft- quality detection. With the unique circular stepped structure and superalloy material properties of aerospace turbine disk, it is difficult for the traditional ultrasonic testing method to perform efficient and accurate testing. In this study, ultrasound phased array detection technology was applied to the non-destructive testing of aviation turbine disks: (i) A phased array ultrasonic c-scan device for detecting aerospace turbine disk cracks (PAUDA) was developed which consists of phased array ultrasonic, transducers, a computer, a displacement encoder, and a rotating scanner; (ii) The influence of the detection parameters include…

- A Symplectic Method of Numerical Simulation on Local Buckling for Cylindrical Long Shells under Axial Pulse Loads
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 53-67, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2021.014559
- Abstract In this paper, the local buckling of cylindrical long shells is discussed under axial pulse loads in a Hamiltonian system. Using this system, critical loads and modes of buckling of shells are reduced to symplectic eigenvalues and eigensolutions respectively. By the symplectic method, the solution of the local buckling of shells can be employed to the expansion series of symplectic eigensolutions in this system. As a result, relationships between critical buckling loads and other factors, such as length of pulse load, thickness of shells and circumferential orders, have been achieved. At the same time, symmetric and unsymmetric buckling modes have…

- Guided Wave Based Damage Detection Method for Aircraft Composite Structures under Varying Temperatures
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 23-37, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2021.013737
- Abstract Guided waves based damage detection methods using base signals offer the advantages of simplicity of signal generation and reception, sensitivity to damage, and large area coverage; however, applications of the technology are limited by the sensitivity to environmental temperature variations. In this paper, a Spearman Damage Index-based damage diagnosis method for structural health condition monitoring under varying temperatures is presented. First, a PZT sensor-based Guided wave propagation model is proposed and employed to analyze the temperature effect. The result of the analysis shows the wave speed of the Guided wave signal has higher temperature sensitivity than the signal fluctuation features.…

- Comparative Analysis of Wavelet Transform for Time-Frequency Analysis and Transient Localization in Structural Health Monitoring
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 1-22, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2021.012751
- Abstract A critical problem facing data collection in structural health monitoring, for instance via sensor networks, is how to extract the main components and useful features for damage detection. A structural dynamic measurement is more often a complex time-varying process and therefore, is prone to dynamic changes in time-frequency contents. To extract the signal components and capture the useful features associated with damage from such non-stationary signals, a technique that combines the time and frequency analysis and shows the signal evolution in both time and frequency is required. Wavelet analyses have proven to be a viable and effective tool in this…

- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 69-83, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2021.011922
- Abstract This article presented a new data fusion approach for reasonably predicting dynamic serviceability reliability of the long-span bridge girder. Firstly, multivariate Bayesian dynamic linear model (MBDLM) considering dynamic correlation among the multiple variables is provided to predict dynamic extreme deflections; secondly, with the proposed MBDLM, the dynamic correlation coefficients between any two performance functions can be predicted; finally, based on MBDLM and Gaussian copula technique, a new data fusion method is given to predict the serviceability reliability of the long-span bridge girder, and the monitoring extreme deflection data from an actual bridge is provided to illustrated the feasibility and application…

- Experimental Study on Permeability Characteristics of Geotubes for Seepage Analysis on Safety Assessment of Dams
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 339-353, 2020, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2020.013001
- Abstract Geotubes are heterogeneous structures composed of filling sand and bag material, and its permeability characteristics are different from that of filling sand. The uncertainty of geotubes permeability characteristics results in the failure of seepage analysis of geotube dams, which restricts the safety assessment of the dams. As the basis of the study on the seepage mechanism of the geotubes, the influence of particle grading on permeability coefficient of filling sand and sand covered with geotextiles were explored by the permeability tests of filling sand with different particle grading under the condition of sand covered with or without geotextiles. And the…

- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 355-374, 2020, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2020.011479
- Abstract To solve the problem that the digital image recognition accuracy of concrete structure cracks is not high under the condition of uneven illumination and complex surface color of concrete structure, this paper has proposed a block segmentation method of maximum entropy threshold based on the digital image data obtained by the ACTIS automatic detection system. The steps in this research are as follows: 1. The crack digital images of concrete specimens with typical features were collected by using the Actis system of KURABO Co., Ltd., of Japan in the concrete beam bending test. 2. The images are segmented into blocks…

- A Deep Learning Based Approach for Response Prediction of Beam-like Structures
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 315-338, 2020, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2020.011083
- Abstract Beam-like structures are a class of common but important structures in engineering. Over the past few centuries, extensive research has been carried out to obtain the static and dynamic response of beam-like structures. Although building the finite element model to predict the response of these structures has proven to be effective, it is not always suitable in all the application cases because of high computational time or lack of accuracy. This paper proposes a novel approach to predict the deflection response of beam-like structures based on a deep neural network and the governing differential equation of Euler-Bernoulli beam. The Prandtl-Ishlinskii…

- Damage Detection for CFRP Based on Planar Electrical Capacitance Tomography
- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 303-314, 2020, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2020.011009
- Abstract Due to the widespread use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer/plastic (CFRP), the nondestructive structural health monitoring for CFRP is playing an increasingly essential role. As a nonradiative, noninvasive and nondestructive detection technique, planar electrical capacitance tomography (PECT) electrodes array is employed in this paper to reconstruct the damage image according to the calculated dielectric constant changes. The shape and duty ratio of PECT electrodes are optimized according to the relations between sensitivity distribution and the dielectric constant of different anisotropic degrees. The sensitivity matrix of optimized PECT sensor is more uniform as the result shows, because the sensitivity of insensitivity…

- Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 283-301, 2020, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2020.010564
- Abstract In this study, the methodology and results of ambient vibration-based investigations of the historical Tash Mosque in Kosovo and a 3-story historical building in Bulgaria are presented. The investigations include full-scale in situ testing of both structures due to ambient vibrations induced by micro-seismic, wind, traffic, and other human activities. To this aim, Ranger seismometers and Kinemetric products were used. Measurements were performed in both horizontal directions in several points along the structures’ height utilizing a high-speed data acquisition device. All recorded data have been analyzed and processed by the software developed at IZIIS, and then the processed data were…
