A strain modal testing method has been applied to a cantilever beam to investigate the characteristics of the method. By applying the method to an analytical and an experimental system, it was shown that accurate modal parameters can be estimated from strain frequency response functions using a current modal parameter extraction algorithm. The modal parameters estimated by the method are more accurate than those by the conventional method which uses accelerometers when the tested system is of light weight. The method can be used to predict strain responses and excitation forces for given excitation forces and responses, respectively. Cracks on a structure can be detected by measuring strian FRFs and comparing them with the original ones.

Modal parameters of a structure are commonly used quantities for system identification and damage detection. With a limited number of studies on the statistics assessment of modal parameters, this paper presents procedures to properly account for the uncertainties present in the process of extracting modal parameters. Particularly, this paper focuses on how to deal with the measurement error in an ambient vibration test and the modeling error resulting from a modal parameter extraction process. A bootstrap approach is adopted, when an ensemble of a limited number of noised time-history response recordings is available. To estimate the modeling error associated with the extraction process, a model prediction expansion approach is adopted where the modeling error is considered as an "adjustment" to the prediction obtained from the extraction process. The proposed procedures can be further incorporated into the probabilistic analysis of applications where the modal parameters are used. This study considers the effects of the measurement and modeling errors and can provide guidance in allocating resources to improve the estimation accuracy of the modal data. As an illustration, the proposed procedures are applied to extract the modal data of a damaged beam, and the extracted modal data are used to detect potential damage locations using a damage detection method. It is shown that the variability in the modal parameters can be considered to be quite low due to the measurement and modeling errors; however, this low variability has a significant impact on the damage detection results for the studied beam.

A model analysis method has been developed in the paper. The method estimates the modal parameters of multiple input-output systems, assesses their quality, and seperates structural modes form computation ones. The modal parameter extraction algorithm is the least squares method with a finite difference model relating input and output time data. The quality of the estimated system model can be assessed in narrow frequency bands by comparing the measured and model predicted responses in time domain with the aid of digital filters. Structural modes can be effectively separated from computational ones using the convergence factor which represents the pole convergence rate. The modal analysis method has been applied to simulated and experimental vibration data to evaluate its utility and limitations.

음성신호와 영상신호를 함께 이용하는 바이모달(Bi-modal)음성인식에서 어떤 입술 파라미터를 사용하는가에 따라 인식시스템의 성능이 달라진다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 이미지에 근거한 입술파라미터를 견인하게 추출하기 위한 방법으로 x 프로파일(profile)을 이용한 방법을 사용하였다. 파라미터를 선정을 달리하여 실험한 결과 15dB이상에서는 안쪽입술의 2개의 파라미터를 이용한 경우가, 10dB이하에서는 4개의 입술파라미터를 이용한 경우가 더 좋은 인식률을 보였다. 안쪽 입술 파라미터를 이용한 경우가 바깥쪽 입술 파라미터를 이용한 경우보다 더 좋은 인식률을 보였다.

Bridge scour is one of the predominant causes of bridge failure. Current climate deterioration leads to increase of flooding frequency and severity and thus poses a higher risk of bridge scour failure than before. Recent studies have explored extensively the vibration-based scour monitoring technique by analyzing the structural modal properties before and after damage. However, the state-of-art of this area lacks a systematic approach with sufficient robustness and credibility for practical decision making. This paper attempts to develop a data-driven methodology for bridge scour monitoring using support vector machines. This study extracts features from the bridge dynamic responses based on a generic sensitivity study on the bridge's modal properties and selects the features that are significantly contributive to bridge scour detection. Results indicate that the proposed data-driven method can quantify the bridge scour damage with satisfactory accuracy for most cases. This paper provides an alternative methodology for bridge scour evaluation using the machine learning method. It has the potential to be practically applied for bridge safety assessment in case that scour happens.

Centrifugal pump is a key part of nuclear power plant systems, and its health status is critical to the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. Therefore, fault diagnosis is required for centrifugal pump. Traditional fault diagnosis methods have difficulty extracting fault features from nonlinear and non-stationary signals, resulting in low diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, a new fault diagnosis method is proposed based on the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm-based variational modal decomposition (VMD) and relevance vector machine (RVM). Firstly, a simulation test bench for rotor faults is built, in which vibration displacement signals of the rotor are also collected by eddy current sensors. Then, the improved particle swarm algorithm is used to optimize the VMD to achieve adaptive decomposition of vibration displacement signals. Meanwhile, a screening criterion based on the minimum Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence value is established to extract the primary intrinsic modal function (IMF) component. Eventually, the factors are obtained from the primary IMF component to form a fault feature vector, and fault patterns are recognized using the RVM model. The results show that the extraction of the fault information and fault diagnosis classification have been improved, and the average accuracy could reach 97.87%.

Engineering structures in operation essentially belong to time-varying or nonlinear structures and the resultant response signals are usually non-stationary. For such time-varying structures, it is of great importance to extract time-dependent dynamic parameters from non-stationary response signals, which benefits structural health monitoring, safety assessment and vibration control. However, various traditional signal processing methods are unable to extract the embedded meaningful information. As a newly developed technique, variational mode decomposition (VMD) shows its superiority on signal decomposition, however, it still suffers two main problems. The foremost problem is that the number of modal components is required to be defined in advance. Another problem needs to be addressed is that VMD cannot effectively separate non-stationary signals composed of closely spaced or overlapped modes. As such, a new method named generalized adaptive variational modal decomposition (GAVMD) is proposed. In this new method, the number of component signals is adaptively estimated by an index of mean frequency, while the generalized demodulation algorithm is introduced to yield a generalized VMD that can decompose mode overlapped signals successfully. After that, synchrosqueezing wavelet transform (SWT) is applied to extract instantaneous frequencies (IFs) of the decomposed mono-component signals. To verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed method, three numerical examples and a steel cable with time-varying tension force are investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed GAVMD method can decompose the multi-component signal with overlapped modes well and its combination with SWT enables a successful IF extraction of each individual component.

본 논문은 치아의 전치교합(anterior occlusion)과 후치교합(posterior occlusion) 상태에서 획득된 치아 영상에 대하여 BMME와 LDA에 기반한 개인 인식 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 전치교합과 후치교합 상태의 치아 영상에서 치아 영역 추출, BMME, 패턴 인식 과정으로 구성된다. 이들 두 치아교합은 영상에서 일관된 자세의 치아 영상을 얻을 수 있도록 하며, BMME는 패턴 인식 과정에서 정합 오차를 줄이도록 해 준다. 치아는 딱딱하므로 치아영상을 사용하면 영상 획득 시 변형되지 않기 때문에 유용하다. 제안된 방법은 20명을 대상으로 개인 인증을 위한 치아인식 실험에서 성공적이었으며, 멀티 모달(multi-modal) 인증 시스템에 기여할 수 있음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 모바일 디바이스에 기본적으로 제공되는 모노 카메라와 모노 마이크의 멀티 모달 입력을 통하여 사용자와 모바일 디바이스간의 거리를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 영상을 이용한 거리 추정은 모노 카메라로 입력되는 영상에서 피부색 영역을 추출하고, 노이즈를 제거한 후에 얼굴 영역 및 눈 영역을 검출하여 사용자의 거리를 추정한다. 음성을 이용한 거리 추정은 모노 마이크로 입력되는 음성으로부터 가장 큰 피크(Peak)를 선정하고, ROI(Region of Interest)를 지정한 후에 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)을 수행하여 주파수 축에서의 크기(Magnitude)를 계산한다. 계산된 크기 값과 거리별 크기 값의 모델을 비교하여 거리 별 우도(Likelihood)를 계산하고, 정렬한 후 가중치를 주어 더함으로써 사용자의 거리를 추정한다. 실험결과 영상 및 음성을 멀티 모달 입력으로 이용하여 거리를 추정한 결과 단일 모달로 거리를 추정한 결과 보다 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
