We use responses of different kinds

– Classical gobal SHM based on accelerations and/or strains

– Electric response of an embedded electrical grid (ELGRID)

– Thermal response induced by an embedded grid (ThermGRID)

– Local delamination indicator based on local strain gradients (DELAM)

Optimization of excitation and sensor placement for identification of damage-induced damping

Active SHM

IPPT Department of Intelligent Technologies

Institute of Fundamental Technological Research

Load identification via comparison of forced responses of healthy and damaged structures

Based mostly on the virtual distortion method (VDM)

quick structural reanalysis

vehicle/structure

black-box data

Identification of accident scenario (impact forces, location, timing), operational loads ensuing structural damage mass excitations (moving crowd, vehicles)

Monitoring of global structure or local substructures

Material nonlinearities included

Passive SHM: off-line identification of loads & damages

for a passive black-box system



Active & passive SHM:

Model-free identification

Model-free (non-parametric) identification of

dynamic loads (including multiple impacts)

structural damages

mass excitations (moving crowd, vehicles)



measurement data

Thanks to the VDM

no need for any numerical parametric model (e.g. FEM)

purely experimental structural characteristics


Structural Health Monitoring

Truss bridge monitoring system

The system consists of two components

weigh in motion (WIM) part for identification of the load exerted on rails by passing trains

This load will provide input for the SHM system mounted on the bridge.

SHM system for collecting dynamic responses of the structure using piezoelectric sensors for assessing the bridge state

Wireless data transfer system for transfering collected data to a remote analysis center


Road Weigh-in-Motion

Measured parameters: mass of the vehicle number of vehicles velocity of vehicle distance between vehicles


Railway Weigh-in-Motion

Measured parameters: force exerted by the car axis mass of the car number of cars velocity of the train

Noise measurements

Noise and vibration measurements Trams, trains, industrial machines, buildings

AIA - Adaptive Landing Gears

for Improved Impact

Absorption

according to the regulations (e.g. FAR25) the landing gear is designed for the

appropriately chosen limit load case (e.g. vertical velocity equal to 3 m/s)

statistically, the touch-down velocity during most of the typical landings does not

approach this limit – landing gear response is not optimal



Adaptive Inflatable Structures

AIS - structure divided into sealed chambers filled with compressed gas

and equipped with fast inflators and controllable valves

Adaptation to

impact controlled transfer or release of gas
