Interval analysis of mode shapes to identify damage in beam structures

Various damage detection methods have been proposed by several researchers in the past few decades. Amongst them, the efficiency of mode shapes in detecting damage has been demonstrated by many researchers when further processed. In most cases, the processing involves expansion or reduction of the mode shape data. However, vital information that are damage-prints are often lost during processing of the mode shape data. In addition, most of these processes involve long and complex computation, thus, leading to inaccurate damage identification. In this study, a simple and fast damage identification technique is proposed to identify damage in beam structures. Interval analysis is applied to the mode shapes of a beam structure in the damaged and undamaged states. The interval situations of each of the beam's segment via mode shape are derived to obtain the upper and lower bounds and the derived bounds are compared. To establish a relationship for identify the damaged point, a possibility of damage existence is defined for each segment of the beam structure. The mode shape increment is defined as the increase in the mode shape value. Furthermore, a damage measure index that provide enhance damage information is obtained as the product of the possibility of damage existence and mode shape increment. A numerical model of a simply supported steel beam is applied to demonstrate this method by imposing damage through thickness reduction of elements in segments. In addition, a parametric analysis is carried out to evaluate noise effect by considering varying damage severities and different noise levels. The results showed that this method is simple and provides considerable accurate results.

轿车后轿横梁焊缝纵向开裂的原因分析

针对某轿车后梁焊缝纵向开裂情况，采用宏观观察、金相检验和扫描电镜分析等方法，对材质为CP-800高强钢，厚度为2 mm焊缝开裂原因进行了分析。扫描电镜发现裂纹起源于Cr的氧化物，以及其与Al、Si、Ca和Mn的复合氧化物处，且有疲劳辉纹形成，说明开裂是疲劳裂纹扩展到临界尺寸时在外载荷作用下发生快速扩展造成的。     

Effect of microstructure inhomogeneity on mechanical properties of different zones in TA15 electron beam welded joints

The effects of microstructure inhomogeneity on the mechanical properties of different zones in TA15 electron beam welded joints were investigated using a micromechanics-based finite element method. Considering the indentation size effect, the mechanical properties for constituent phases of the base metal (BM) and heat affected zone (HAZ) were determined by the instrumented nano-indentation test. The macroscopic mechanical properties of BM and HAZ obtained from the tensile test agree well with the numerical results. The incompatible deformation between the constituent phases tends to localize along the softer primary phase α where failure usually initiates in form of localized plastic strain. Compared with the BM, the mechanical properties of constituent phases in the HAZ differ substantially, leading to more serious strain localization behavior.     

Evaluation of back-calculated elastic moduli of unreinforced and geocell-reinforced unbound granular material from full-scale field tests

This paper presents a field-scale experimental track over a poor subgrade with an unreinforced section and a geocell-reinforced section subjected to in-situ performance tests. Plate load tests and Benkelman beam tests were carried out distributed in several unreinforced and reinforced layers. The objective was to: (1) examine the variability of the elastic modulus of unbound granular material (UGM) due the influence of its thickness and the presence of poor subgrade in its base, (2) evaluate the modulus improvement factor (MIF) generated by the geocell reinforcement in the UGM and (3) verify the most appropriate condition to apply the MIF to transport infrastructure design. The results showed that there is a significant influence of the thickness of the UGM layer on its elastic modulus when the layer is supported directly over a soft subgrade. The MIF values obtained in field suggest that its determination is mostly related to the UGM maximum elastic modulus rather than its decreased values (by virtue of poor subgrade or reduced thicknesses), and that the analytical formulation presented for MIF calculation has good predictive capability to be applied to pavement design.

Reliability analysis of metal‐composite adhesive joints under debonding modes I,II, and I/II using the results of experimental and FEM analyses

In the present study, the experimental and finite element (FE) analyses are first carried out to investigate the deboning behavior of metal‐composite adhesive joints under modes of I and mode II loading. To conduct an FE on the debonding propagation, cohesive zone method (CZM), as well as maximum nominal stress and energy criteria, is applied. In the reliability analysis, to achieve the probability of debonding growth (PODG), limit state functions are formulated based on the energy release rate. To that end, the first‐order reliability method (FORM), the second‐order reliability method (SORM), and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) are used to calculate the PODG. The effect of initial debonding length on the PODG in all mentioned modes is investigated. Results obtained from reliability analysis reveal that the random variables including the initial debonding length, width, and thickness are the most sensitive variables to ascertain the PODG.
