시설물의 거동 파악을 위한 대표적인 방법으로는 가속도센서에서 측정되는 동적응답을 이용하여 역해석을 통해 구조변수를 추정하는 방법이 있다. 정확한 구조변수의 추정을 위해서는 최적화된 센서의 위치가 필요한데, 본 논문에서는 다양한 최적 센서위치를 추정하는 방법을 정리하였으며, 기존 시간영역에서만 사용되었던 Hankel matrix법을 주파수영역으로 확대 개발하여 기존 최적 센서위치 추정 방법들과 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 비교 및 검증을 위해 지진동에 의한 동적 해석을 수행하여 기존 및 새로운 방법으로 선택된 최적 센서위치 에서의 가속도데이터를 활용하여 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)를 통해 진동 형상의 크기를 구하고, spline function으로 전체 자유도에 대한 진동 형상을 추정하였으며, 추정된 진동 형상과 해석적으로 구해진 진동 형상과의 MAC 지수를 통하여 다양한 방법들의 모드 추정의 정확도를 비교하였다.

Investigation of structural integrity has been a critical issue in the field of civil engineering for years. Visual inspection is one of the most available methods to explore deteriorative components in structures. Still, this method is not applicable to invisible damage of structures. Alternatively, system identification methods are capable of tracking modal properties of structures over time. The deviation of these dynamic properties can serve as indicators to access structural integrity. In this study, a modal tracking technique using frequency-domain system identification from seismic responses of structures is proposed. The method first segments the measured signals into overlapped sequential portions and then establishes multiple Hankel matrices. Each Hankel matrix is then converted to the frequency domain, and a temporal-average frequency-domain Hankel matrix can be calculated. This study also proposes the frequency band selection that can divide the frequency-domain Hankel matrix into several portions in accordance with referenced natural frequencies. Once these referenced natural frequencies are unavailable, the first few right singular vectors by the singular value decomposition can offer these references. Finally, the frequency-domain stochastic subspace identification tracks the natural frequencies and mode shapes of structures through quick stabilization diagrams. To evaluate performance of the proposed method, a numerical study is carried out. Moreover, the long-term monitoring strong motion records at a specific site are exploited to assess the tracking performance. As seen in results, the proposed method is capable of tracking modal properties through seismic responses of structures.

A new analytical derivation of the elastodynamic point load solutions for an isotropic multi-layered half-space is presented by means of the precise integration method (PIM) and the approach of dual vector. The time-harmonic external load is prescribed either on the external boundary or in the interior of the solid medium. Starting with the axisymmetric governing motion equations in a cylindrical coordinate system, a second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be gained by making use of the Hankel integral transform. Employing the technique of dual vector, the second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be simplified into a first-order one. The approach of PIM is implemented to obtain the solutions of the ordinary differential matrix equation in the Hankel integral transform domain. The PIM is a highly accurate algorithm to solve sets of first-order ordinary differential equations and any desired accuracy of the dynamic point load solutions can be achieved. The numerical simulation is based on algebraic matrix operation. As a result, the computational effort is reduced to a great extent and the computation is unconditionally stable. Selected numerical trials are given to validate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed approach. More examples are discussed to portray the dependence of the load-displacement response on the isotropic parameters of the multi-layered media, the depth of external load and the frequency of excitation.
