    An Overview of Seismic Risk Management for Italian Architectural Heritage

    Lucio Nobile*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.5, pp. 353-368, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.028247

    Abstract The frequent occurrence of seismic events in Italy poses a strategic problem that involves either the culture of preservation of historical heritage or the civil protection action aimed to reduce the risk to people and goods (buildings, bridges, dams, slopes, etc.). Most of the Italian architectural heritage is vulnerable to earthquakes, identifying the vulnerability as the inherent predisposition of the masonry building to suffer damage and collapse during an earthquake. In fact, the structural concept prevailing in these ancient masonry buildings is aimed at ensuring prevalent resistance to vertical gravity loads. Rarely do these ancient masonry structures offer relevant resistance… More >

    Zhongguo Tang1, Haijin Zhuo1, Beian Li1, Xiaotao Ma2, Siyu Zhao2, Kai Tong2,*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.5, pp. 407-431, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.026033

    Abstract Corrosion can be very harmful to the service life and several properties of reinforced concrete structures. The metal magnetic memory (MMM) method, as a newly developed spontaneous magnetic flux leakage (SMFL) non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, is considered a potentially viable method for detecting corrosion damage in reinforced concrete members. To this end, in this paper, the indoor electrochemical method was employed to accelerate the corrosion of outsourced concrete specimens with different steel bar diameters, and the normal components BBz and its gradient of the SMFL fields on the specimen surfaces were investigated based on the metal magnetic memory (MMM) method.… More >

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 283-297, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.025977

    Abstract In the harsh environment, the structural health of the anti-vibration hammer, which suffers from the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue damage, is significantly reduced. As part of the conductor structure, the anti-vibration hammer is rigidly attached to the conductor, effectively suppressing conductor vibration. The conductor’s breeze vibration law and natural modal frequency are altered damage to the anti-vibration hammer structure. Through built a vibration experiment platform to simulate multiple faults such as anti-vibration hammer head drop off and position slippage, which to obtained the vibration acceleration signal of the conductor. The acceleration vibration signal is processed and analyzed in… More >

    Abstract In recent years, high-end equipment is widely used in industry and the accuracy requirements of the equipment have been risen year by year. During the machining process, the high-end equipment failure may have a great impact on the product quality. It is necessary to monitor the status of equipment and to predict fault diagnosis. At present, most of the condition monitoring devices for mechanical equipment have problems of large size, low precision and low energy utilization. A wireless self-powered intelligent spindle vibration acceleration sensor system based on piezoelectric energy harvesting is proposed. Based on rotor sensing technology, a sensor is… More >

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 257-281, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.023617

    Abstract Damage detection is an important area with growing interest in mechanical and structural engineering. One of the critical issues in damage detection is how to determine indices sensitive to the structural damage and insensitive to the surrounding environmental variations. Current damage identification indices commonly focus on structural dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency responses. This study aimed at developing a technique based on energy Curvature Difference, power spectrum density, correlation-based index, load distribution factor, and neutral axis shift to assess the bridge deck condition. In addition to tracking energy and frequency over time using wavelet packet… More > Graphic Abstract

    Weak Fault Detection of Rotor Winding Inter-Turn Short Circuit in Excitation System Based on Residual Interval Observer

    Gang Liu1, Xinqi Chen2,3,*, Lijuan Bao1, Linbo Xu2,3, Chaochao Dai1, Lei Yang2,3, Chengmin Wang4

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 337-351, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2022.023583

    Abstract Aiming at the fact that the rotor winding inter-turn weak faults can hardly be detected due to the strong electromagnetic coupling effect in the excitation system, an interval observer based on current residual is designed. Firstly, the mechanism of the inter-turn short circuit of the rotor winding in the excitation system is modeled under the premise of stable working conditions, and electromagnetic decoupling and system simplification are carried out through Park Transform. An interval observer is designed based on the current residual in the two-phase coordinate system, and the sensitive and stable conditions of the observer is preset. The fault… More >

    Speed Measurement Feasibility by Eddy Current Effect in the High-Speed MFL Testing

    Zhaoting Liu1, Jianbo Wu1,*, Sha He2, Xin Rao3, Shiqiang Wang2, Shen Wang1, Wei Wei4

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 299-314, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.022554

    Abstract It is known that eddy current effect has a great influence on magnetic flux leakage testing (MFL). Usually, contact-type encoder wheels are used to measure MFL testing speed to evaluate the effect and further compensate testing signals. This speed measurement method is complicated, and inevitable abrasion and occasional slippage will reduce the measurement accuracy. In order to solve this problem, based on eddy current effect due to the relative movement, a speed measurement method is proposed, which is contactless and simple. In the high-speed MFL testing, eddy current induced in the specimen will cause an obvious modification to the applied… More > Graphic Abstract

    Numerical Approach to Simulate the Effect of Corrosion Damage on the Natural Frequency of Reinforced Concrete Structures

    Amthal Hakim1, Wael Slika1,*, Rawan Machmouchi1, Adel Elkordi2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 175-194, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2022.023027

    Abstract Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete elements causes minor to major damage in different aspects. It may lead to spalling of concrete cover, reduction of section’s capacity and can alter the dynamic properties. For the dynamic properties, natural frequency is to be a reliable indicator of structural integrity that can be utilized in non-destructive corrosion assessment. Although the correlation between natural frequency and corrosion damage has been reflected in different experimental programs, few attempts have been made to investigate this relationship in forward modeling and/or structural health monitoring techniques. This can be attributed to the limited available data, the complex… More >

    Research Progress on the Influence of Varying Fiber Contents on Mechanical Properties of Recycled Concrete

    Zhenqing Shi1, Guomin Sun1, Jianyong Pang2,*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 239-255, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.022816

    Abstract Applying recycled concrete for engineered projects not only protects the ecological environment but also improves the utilization rate of waste concrete to satisfy sustainable development requirements. However, the mechanical properties of recycled concrete are not as good as those of ordinary concrete. To enhance the former’s performance and increase its popularity and application in engineering fields, notable advances have been made by using steel, synthetic, plant, and mineral fiber materials. These materials are added to recycled concrete to improve its mechanical properties. Studies have shown that (1) steel fibers have a distinct reinforcing effect and improve the strength, toughness, and… More >
