In this study, the effect of time duration of the measured sensor signal to the impact identification capability of time reversal processing method is experimentally demonstrated. Time reversal processing for the measured sensor signal can be applied to detect not only structural damage but also impact loading of the structure. After measuring the electrical sensor signals corresponding to scattered wave filed of the plate experimentally, time reversal processing is applied to the measured signals in the numerical wave back propagation simulation for localizing the impact loading point on the plate. A time-reversed wave travels back through the plate and is focused on the region around a point where hits by the impact hammer. The illustrative experimental and numerical processes demonstrated the impact identification capability of time reversal processing method. Even if the measured signals were missing the wave front induced by the impact, the signal to noise ratio of the backward process was successfully improved by using the long time duration of the measured sensor signals.

Time reversal processing for measured sensor signal can be applied to detect not only structural damage but also impact loading of the structure. In this study, a model based impact detection method for structural health monitoring is proposed. Impact identification capability of the numerical time reversal processing is demonstrated by using a rectangular aluminum plate with nine surface bonded piezoceramic sensors. Illustrative numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed method can be successfully identifying both exact impact point and time.

Vibration based technique have so far been focused on the identification of structural damage. However, not many studies have been conducted on the corrosion identification on pipes. The objective of this paper is to identify corrosion on pipes from vibration measurements. A hollow pipe, 500 mm in length with 63.5 mm in diameter was subjected to impact loading using an impact hammer to identify the natural frequency of the tube in two conditions i) without any corrosion and ii) with an induced localized 40 mm by 40 mm corrosion at the middle of the pipe. The shift of natural frequencies of the structures under free boundary conditions was examined for each node of excitation. The results showed that there is a shift in natural frequency of the pipe, between 3 and 4 Hz near to the corrosion area. It can suggested that that the impact vibration is capable of identifying of localized corrosion on a hollow tube.

This paper presents a detailed study on the impact source identification of a plate structure using time-reversal (T-R) method. Prior to impact monitoring, the plate is calibrated (or characterized) by transfer functions at discrete locations on the plate surface. Both impact location and impact loading time-history are identified using T-R technique and associated signal processing algorithms. Numerical verification for finite-size isotropic plates under low velocity impacts is performed to demonstrate the versatility of T-R method for impact source identification. The tradeoff between accuracy of the impact location detection and calibration spacing is studied in detail. In particular, the effect of plate thickness on calibration spacing has been examined. A number of parameters selected for determining the impact location, approximated transfer functions and steps taken for reconstructing the impact loading time-history are also examined. Two types of noise with various intensities contaminated in strain response and/or transfer functions are investigated for demonstrating the stability and reliability of the T-R method. The results show that T-R method is robust against noise in impact location detection and force reconstruction in circumventing the inherent ill-conditioned inverse problem. Only transfer functions are needed to be calibrated and four sensors are requested in T-R method for impact identification.

AbstractA system to detect and locate impacts by foreign bodies on a surface was developed and tested. Fiber optic extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) strain sensors were attached to or embedded in the surface, so that stress waves emanating from an impact could be detected. By employing an artificial neural network to process the sensor outputs, the impact location could be inferred to centimeter range accuracy directly from the arrival time data. In particular, the network could be trained to determine impact location regardless of material anisotropy. Results demonstrate that a back-propagation network identifiesimpact location for an anisotropic graphite/bismaleimide plate with the same accuracy as that for an isotropic aluminum plate.

AbstractShip collision appears as the most threatening loading accounting for structural casualties and numbers of casualties after impact on the target ship. In order to avoid such losses against collision, better safety during activities in maritime environment is demanded. Therefore, assessment of ship structure is needed to understand dynamic effect of the impact and quantify nonlinear behavior of local members. This study is conducted to achieve those aims by deploying nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) to idealized ship collision event. Validation of the numerical method is performed by comparing results of a modeled collision case with various empirical calculations. Design for impact loading in main analysis considers side collision to main hull structure, which single side skin (SSS) and double side skin (DSS) types are modeled. Investigation is also directed to influence of the target members on the main hull to capacity of absorbed energy and characteristic of structural resistance. Analysis results indicate that good understanding is successfully obtained in terms of structural damage-energy relation. Confirmation of the current calculation using numerical calculation is also confirmed considering the modeled cases and empirical results agree well. Tendency of hull responses concluded that the longitudinal members contribute more to structural resistance against side collision.

Abstract It is standard practice to ferment white wines at low temperatures (10-18 °C). However, low temperatures increase fermentation duration and risk of problem ferments, leading to significant costs. The lag duration at fermentation initiation is heavily impacted by temperature; therefore, identification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes influencing fermentation kinetics is of interest for winemaking. We selected 28 S. cerevisiae BY4743 single deletants, from a prior list of open reading frames (ORFs) mapped to quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on chromosomes VII and XIII, influencing the duration of fermentative lag time. Five BY4743 deletants, Δapt1, Δcgi121, Δclb6, Δrps17a, and Δvma21, differed significantly in their fermentative lag duration compared to BY4743 in synthetic grape must (SGM) at 15 °C, over 72 h. Fermentation at 12.5 °C for 528 h confirmed the longer lag times of BY4743 Δcgi121, Δrps17a, and Δvma21. These three candidate ORFs were deleted in S. cerevisiae RM11-1a and S288C to perform single reciprocal hemizygosity analysis (RHA). RHA hybrids and single deletants of RM11-1a and S288C were fermented at 12.5 °C in SGM and lag time measurements confirmed that the S288C allele of CGI121 on chromosome XIII, encoding a component of the EKC/KEOPS complex, increased fermentative lag phase duration. Nucleotide sequences of RM11-1a and S288C CGI121 alleles differed by only one synonymous nucleotide, suggesting that intron splicing, codon bias, or positional effects might be responsible for the impact on lag phase duration. This research demonstrates a new role of CGI121 and highlights the applicability of QTL analysis for investigating complex phenotypic traits in yeast.

In the present paper, the problem on impact of a viscoelastic sphere against a viscoelastic plate is considered with due account for the extension of plate’s middle surface and local bearing of sphere and plate’s materials via the Hertz theory. The standard linear solid models with conventional derivatives and with fractional-order derivatives are used as viscoelastic models, respectively, outside and within the contact domain. As a result of impact, transient waves (surfaces of strong discontinuity) are generated in the plate, behind the wave fronts of which up to the boundaries of the contact domain the solution is constructed in terms of one-term ray expansions due to short-time duration of the impact process. The motion of the contact zone occurs under the action of extension forces acting in the plate’s middle surface, transverse force, and the Hertzian contact force. The suggested approach allows one to find the time-dependence of the impactor’s indentation into the target and the Hertzian contact force.

The microstructural mechanisms providing delamination toughness in high-strength low-alloyed steels are briefly reviewed. Thermo-mechanical processing methods improving both the strength and impact toughness are described, with a close relation to the microstructures and textures developed. The effect of processing conditions on the microstructure evolution in steels with different carbon content is discussed. Particular attention is paid to tempforming treatment, which has been recently introduced as a promising processing method for high-strength low-alloyed steel semi-products with beneficial combination of strength and impact toughness. Tempforming consists of large strain warm rolling following tempering. In contrast to ausforming, the steels subjected to tempforming may exhibit an unusual increase in the impact toughness with a decrease in test temperature below room temperature. This phenomenon is attributed to the notch blunting owing to easy splitting (delamination) crosswise to the principle crack propagation. The relationships between the crack propagation mode, the delamination fracture, and the load-displacement curve are presented and discussed. Further perspectives of tempforming applications and promising research directions are outlined.
