Identification of Structural Defects Using Computer Algorithms
Authors
Abstract:
One of the numerous methods recently employed to study the health of structures is the identification of anomaly in data obtained for the condition of the structure, e.g. the frequencies for the structural modes, stress, strain, displacement, speed, and acceleration) which are obtained and stored by various sensors. The methods of identification applied for anomalies attempt to discover and recognize patterns governing data which run in sharp contrast to the statistical population. In the case of data obtained from sensors, data appearing in contrast to others, i.e. outliers, may signal the occurrence of damage in the structure. The present research aims to employ computer algorithms to identify structural defects based on data gathered by sensors indicating structural conditions. The present research investigates the performance of various methods including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN), Manhattan Distance, Curve Fitting, and Box Plot in the identification of samples from damages in a case study using frequency values related to a cable-support bridge. Subsequent to the implementation of the methods in the datasets, it was shown that the ANN provided the optimal performance.

Identification of Defects in Plastic Gears Using Image Processing and Computer Vision : A Review
-In this research paper, we have explored the algorithms/techniques that help in the detection of types of defects (Flash, Warping, Bubbles, Unfilled sections, Sink marks and Ejector marks) that may occur during the manufacturing process of plastic gears. Due to the inherent properties (moisture, absorption, temperature, pressure etc.) of the material (acetal resins such as DELRIN, Duracon M90;...

This paper concerns modification of the thermal tomography reconstruction algorithm to improve the speed of calculations for faster reconstruction of thermal and geometrical parameters inside a tested structure. We propose to solve the inverse problem in the two step procedure. First, initial rough reconstruction of a tested structure based on the one dimensional (1-D) thermal model. Second, ex...

Computer vision algorithms are currently developed by looking up the available operators from the literature and then arranging those operators such that the desired task is performed. This is often a tedious process which also involves testing the algorithm with different lighting conditions or at different sites. We have developed a system for the automatic generation of computer vision algor...
