    This document discusses an online NPTEL course on structural health monitoring. It covers several topics: 1) Nondestructive evaluation is an important part of structural health monitoring. Data acquisition depends on excitation methods, data transmission, and sensing structural responses. 2) There are four levels of damage detection: determining location and severity of damage, and predicting remaining service life. 3) Statistical models can be developed through supervised learning using techniques like response surface analysis or neural networks, and unsupervised learning using control charts or hypothesis testing.

    STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

    TUTORIAL 2

    PART –A

    1. NDE (Nondestructive evaluation) is a vital component integrally connected to SHM.


    2. Data acquisition depends on Excitation methods, Data transmission & Sensing the
    structural responses.
    3. Infrared Imaging Technique tracks the thermal load path in a material, travelled
    longitudinally over a period of time.
    4. False .SHM system cannot be a generic system.
    5. Monte Carlo Technique is one of the simplest methods to address uncertainties that
    arise in SHM.

    PART –B

    1. List preliminary disadvantages of unsatisfactory maintenance of a structural system

    Ans:-
    • The consequences that arise from unsatisfactory or improper maintenance cause further
    disaster.
    e.g. accident of aloha airlines , collapse of the mianus river bridge.
    • Efficient use of funds towards maintenance is reduced.
    • Time and schedule of maintenance period can result in down time of facility at its
    critical need.
    e.g. Dockyard.

    2. What are the levels of damage detection?


    Ans:-
    There are 4 levels of damage identification :-
    a) Level :- Determination of damage in the structures.
    b) Level 2 :- Determination of geometric location of damage.
    c) Level 3:- Quantification of severity of damage .
    d) Level 4:- Prediction of remaining service life of the structure after damage occurs.

    3. What are different ways through which a statistical model can be developed?
    Ans:-
    Two different ways through which a statistical model can be developed:-
    1.Learning under supervision deals with following :-
    i) Response surface analysis
    ii) Ficus discriminant
    iii) Neural networks
    iv) Generic algorithms
    2.Learning under unmanned conditions deals with following :-
    i) Control chart analysis
    ii) Outlier detection
    iii) Neural networks
    iv) Hypothesis testing
    4. Write short notes on DIC technique.
    Ans:-

    • Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a 3D, full-field, non-contact optical technique to


    measure contour, deformation, vibration and strain on almost any material.

    • The technique can be used for many tests including tensile, torsion, bending and
    combined loading for both static and dynamics applications.

    • The method can be applied from very small (micro) to large testing areas and the results
    are readily comparable with FEA results or strain gauges

    • This is useful to detect micro cracking in the chopped fibre –glass compressive parts .

    • DIC shows principal strains in the damaged regions ,where cracks are formed.

    • This method is useful to detect localized residual stress, which are caused in the material
    on removal of load.

    • DIC is used to determine displacement and strain fields for material undergoing motion
    or deformation.
    • This can also be used to track the strain variation that occurs under temperature
    variations.

    5. State critical issues of uncertainties in SHM ?


    Ans:-
    1) It can arise from parametric data which arise from physical experiment and numerical
    simulation output.

    2) It can be imperfect knowledge of control parameters of the physical experiment,


    numerical simulation and also imperfect knowledge of the input to numerical model.

    3) It can also arises from –

    • stochastic equations of motion

    • Environmental variations

    • Measurement errors which are human based

    • Discretization & numerical errors

    4) It can also come from probability density function (PDF) of specific probability
    distributions. PDF can handle problems related to uncertainties using random theory.
    one can choose specific type of distribution to include all possible values of variable.
