For this reason, compressive sensing technique has been introduced to improve efficiency and scalability of today"s CM procedures parallel to data acquisition improvement. In this study, Compressive sensing approach for condition monitoring is proposed to demonstrate efficiency in handling a large amount of data. For experiments, a built-in system was used for condition monitoring of a rotating system. During the experiments, all data were sampled with compressive sensing to obtain compressed data. Then we had performed condition monitoring only using compressed data without the reconstruction process. Experimental results show that the proposed method could effectively improve the speed of data processing and reduce energy consumption of sensing networks.

The magnetic sensor is composed of a solenoid and two pairs of permanent magnets generating an antisymmetric magnetic field in the lateral direction inside the solenoid. Lateral movement of a ferromagnetic pipe inside the magnetic field of the suggested sensor induces an electromotive force in the solenoid corresponding to the lateral velocity of the pipe. Due to the simplicity and non-contact characteristics of the magnetic sensor, dynamic behaviors of the structures operating under high temperature such as an exhaust pipe can be efficiently observed. It is shown that the lateral ODS of an exhaust system can be successfully measured by the suggested sensors.

Recent research shows that a solenoid can pick up bending vibrations of a nonmetallic cylinder based on the reversed Lorentz force mechanism if an electrical conductive patch is attached to the cylinder. In this work, pairs of specially designed patches are used to make two independent paths for the current induced by bending vibrations, which enables the measurement of bending vibrations along two orthogonal directions simultaneously. The working performance of the developed sensor was verified by using two accelerometers.

A piezoelectric transducer provides an excitation at a fixed, single frequency to a structure. Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) with a mirror-tilting device measures subsequent steadystate structural responses, resulting in the full standing wavefield of the structure at the excitation frequency. After then, wavelet-based wavenumber filtering is performed to obtain dominant wavenumber components, which could be used for indicative of structural damage. Mapping processes based on the dominant wavelet-based wavenumber is carried out for damaged area visualization. To estimate the depth of damages, Lamb wave equation is transformed into the wavenumber-thickness equation with the known structural parameters. With this process, the thickness and the thickness reduction by corrosion was accurately identified. Several experiments are performed on thin walled structures, including pipes and plates, with different types of damage, including corrosion and cracks. The experimental investigation into quantitative assessment of welded joints are also performed. The results show that the techniques are very effective in damage size and depth estimation with improved speed.

This can eventually lead to the fracture of the structure, which can trigger enormous fatality and property loss. Thereby, a laser imaging technology on such structures as thin plate structure, or piping which thickness is relatively thin in comparison to the area, has been steadily studied for the past 10 years. The most typical among the laser imaging technology is the pulse laser imaging. By using the same, a new technology for inspecting and imaging a desired area within a relatively short period of time was developed, so as to scan various structures including the thin-plate structure and piping. However, this method builds images by measuring waves reflected from defects, and have a time delay of a few milliseconds at each scanning point. Moreover, complexity of the systems is so high due to additional components such as laser focusing parts. This paper proposes laser imaging method with increas...

Two types of excitation methods (guided waves and standing waves) are used for damage detection. For the standing wave based technique, the steady-state response could be obtained from a Laser Doppler Vibrometer and a mirror tilting device using a single fixed frequency (>50 kHz) from a mounted piezoelectric transducer. Time variant and invariant feature based damage visualization method is used to estimate damage size and depth. For the guided wave based approach, the same procedure is used except that a piezo actuator generates a tone-burst excitation. For the comparison of these two techniques, several experiments are performed on an aluminium plates and a composite plate which contain various types of damage, including corrosion and crack on an aluminium plate and debonding on a composite plate. The results demonstrate that pros and cons of these...

A center frequency method based on Hertz's impact theory, a frequency ratio method, and so forth are studied for mass estimation, but it is known that these approaches can hardly provide accurate information on impact response for identifying the impact source. In this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) model to simulate the propagation behavior of the bending wave, generated by a metal ball impact, was validated by performing a series of impact tests and the corresponding finite element analyses for a flat plate as well as a curved plate (a half scale model of steam generator vessel). Various impact parameters such as amplitude, center frequency, group velocity and attenuation ratio of bending wave acceleration signal were investigated to verify the usefulness of the FEA model. Also, an FEA-based metal sphere signal map was developed, and then blind tests were performed to verify the map. This study provides an accurate simulation method for predicting the metal impact behavior and for building a metal sphere signal map, which can be used to estimate the mass of loose-parts on site in nuclear power plants.

A bending wave propagation of a structure under the loose part impact loading is precisely simulated to accurately estimate the mass of a loose part. Lamb’s general solution for an arbitrary impact force function and Hertz impact theory have been used to identify the characteristics of the bending wave that is impacted by a metallic loose part in reactor pressure boundary components. However, these approaches cannot provide accurate information on the acceleration response that is required to identify the impact source. In this study, the bending wave propagation behavior of plate structures under a simulated loose part (Metal sphere) impact loading was modeled using a Finite element analysis (FEA) technique. The characteristics (e.g., Maximum acceleration amplitude, primary frequency, and bending wave velocity) of the impact response signal from a metal sphere were analyzed with the FEA results and were verified with experimental results. In addition, the correlation between plate thickness and characteristic length was presented. Results from this study can be utilized to estimate the location and mass of a loose part for condition monitoring and diagnostics in nuclear power plants.
