  • In this study, the magnetic flux leakage technique was applied to diagnose steel plate damage, imaging technique was applied through those signals. Steel plate specimens with different thicknesses were prepared for the imaging the magnetic flux leakage signal, and 6 different depths of damage were artificially processed at the same locations on each specimen. The sensor head consist hall sensor and magnetization yoke was fabricated to magnetize the steel plate specimen and measure the magnetic flux leakage signal. In order to remove the noise and increase the resolution of the image in the signal collected from the hall sensor, various of signal processing was performed. P-P value was analyzed for each channel to analyze the magnetic flux leakage signals measured from each damaged part. Based on the above processed signals and analysis, it was converted into heatmap image. Through this, it was possible to identify the damage on the steel plate at glance by imaging magnetic flux leakage signal.

  • This study selected in-depth discharge damage survey data and analyzed 92,364 patients whose main diagnosis was S00-T98 (damage, addiction, and specific other results due to external factors) based on the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases and Deaths (KCD-7th) among patients discharged from the hospital after inpatient treatment from January 2016 to December 2018. As a result of analyzing the general characteristics of injured and traumatic patients, the incidence rate of men was higher in gender, and the incidence rate of women increased as the year increased. As a result of analyzing the characteristics of injury and trauma patients other than injury, the injury intention had a high rate of unintentional damage, the damage place was the highest on the road/road, and it showed a decreasing trend as the year increased, and it showed an increasing trend in the residential area. It can be used as basic data for the establishment of a related system to prevent damage as a result of subsang.

  • The Cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is a simple and efficient global optimization algorithm and it has been applied to figure out large range of real-world optimization problem. In this paper, a new formula is introduced to the discovering probability process to improve the convergence rate and the Tournament Selection Strategy is adopted to enhance global search ability of the certain algorithm. Then an approach for structural damage identification based on modified Cuckoo search (MCS) is presented. Meanwhile, we take frequency residual error and the modal assurance criterion (MAC) as indexes of damage detection in view of the crack damage, and the MCS algorithm is utilized to identifying the structural damage. A simply supported beam and a 31-bar truss are studied as numerical example to illustrate the correctness and efficiency of the propose method. Besides, a laboratory work is also conducted to further verification. Studies show that, the proposed method can judge the damage location and degree of structures more accurately than its counterpart even under measurement noise, which demonstrates the MCS algorithm has a higher damage diagnosis precision.

  • The effective management of damage in tunnels is crucial for ensuring their safety, longevity, and operational efficiency. In this paper, we propose an educational management model tailored specifically for addressing damage in tunnels, utilizing numerical solution techniques. By leveraging advanced computational methods, we aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to tunnel damage and to establish proactive measures for mitigation and repair. The proposed model integrates principles of tunnel engineering, structural mechanics, and numerical analysis to facilitate a systematic approach to damage assessment, diagnosis, and management. Through the application of numerical solution techniques, such as finite element analysis, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed model in simulating various damage scenarios and predicting their impact on tunnel performance. Additionally, the educational component of the model provides valuable insights and training opportunities for tunnel management personnel, empowering them to make informed decisions and implement effective strategies for ensuring the structural integrity and safety of tunnel infrastructure. Overall, the proposed educational management model represents a significant advancement in tunnel management practices, offering a proactive and knowledge-driven approach to addressing damage and enhancing the resilience of tunnel systems.

  • Shear walls are a typical member under a complex stress state and have complicated mechanical properties and failure modes. The separated-elements model Genetic Evolutionary Structural Optimization (GESO), which is a combination of an elastic-plastic stress method and an optimization method, has been introduced in the literature for designing such members. Although the separated-elements model GESO method is well recognized due to its stability, feasibility, and economy, its adequacy has not been experimentally verified. This paper seeks to validate the adequacy of the separated-elements model GESO method against experimental data and demonstrate its feasibility and advantages over the traditional elastic stress method. Two types of reinforced concrete shear wall specimens, which had the location of an opening in the middle bottom and the center region, respectively, were utilized for this study. For each type, two specimens were designed using the separated-elements model GESO method and elastic stress method, respectively. All specimens were subjected to a constant vertical load and an incremental lateral load until failure. Test results indicated that the ultimate bearing capacity, failure modes, and main crack types of the shear walls designed using the two methods were similar, but the ductility indexes including the stiffness degradation, deformability, reinforcement yielding, and crack development of the specimens designed using the separated-elements model GESO method were superior to those using the elastic stress method. Additionally, the shear walls designed using the separated-elements model GESO method, had a reinforcement layout which could closely resist the actual critical stress, and thus a reduced amount of steel bars were required for such shear walls.

  • Stability and reliability of a power system in many respects depend on the condition of power transformers. Essential devices as power transformers are in a transmission and distribution system. Being one of the most expensive and important elements, a power transformer is a highly essential element, whose failures and damage may cause the outage of a power system. To detect the power transformer faults, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is a widely-used method because of its high sensitivity to small amount of electrical faults. Among the various diagnosis methods, Rogers diagonsis method has been widely used in transformer in service. But this method cannot offer accurate diagnosis for all the faults. This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method of oil-filled power transformers using PNN(Probability Neural Network) based Rogers diagnosis method. The test result show better performance than conventional Rogers diagnosis method.

  • Seizures are the most common clinical manifestation of a neurologic insult during the neonatal period. Neonatal seizures continue to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to pediatricians because the recognition and classification of neonatal seizures remains problematic, particularly when clinicians rely only on clinical criteria. Neonatal seizures can permanently disrupt neuronal development, induce synaptic reorganization, alter plasticity, and "prime" the brain to increased damage from seizures later in life. Since neonatal seizures, particularly status epilepticus, predict an increased risk for later epilepsy and other neurologic sequelae, accurate diagnoses are needed for aggressive antiepileptic drug use. The present review summarizes the pathophysiology, etiology, and diagnosis of neonatal seizures.
