Abstract [en]

Vibration health monitoring methods use the sensitivity of the natural frequencies to structural damage. Natural frequencies are sensitive to damage, but are also affected by environmental conditions like temperature changes. It is important to be able to distinguish between the effects of these different factors when using the vibration properties as a monitoring tool. This paper discusses the impact of damage and environment temperature changes on the natural frequencies of tensegrity ("tensile-integrity") structures, in particular noting that component bending is a prominent vibration mode, which motivates a use of non-linear beam elements with axial-bending coupling. The model considers not only thermal expansion effects, but also the change of the elastic modulus with temperature. Changes in natural frequencies produced by environment temperature changes are shown to be similar to the ones produced by damage. The geometry of tensegrity structures, the support conditions and the materials are found to be important factors. The sensitivity of the natural frequency to temperature changes is found to be dependent on pre-stress level.

Abstract [en]

 Applications of vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) techniques are increasing rapidly. This is because of the advances in sensors and instrumentation during the last decades. VHM uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life.

The stiffness and frequencies of tensegrity structures are primarily related to the level of pre-stress. The present work investigates the possibilities to use this relation in designing, constructing and evaluating the tensegrity structures.

The first part of the  present work studies the improvement of current models for resonance frequency simulation of tensegrities by introducing the bending behaviour of all components, and by a one-way coupling between the axial force and the stiffness. From this, both local and global vibration modes are obtained. The resonance frequencies are seen as non-linearly dependent on the pre-stress level in the structure, thereby giving a basis for diagnosis of structural conditions from measured frequencies. The new aspects of tensegrity simulations are shown for simple, plane structures but the basic methods are easily used also for more complex structures.

In the second part, the environmental temperature effects on vibration properties of tensegrity structures have been investigated, considering primarily seasonal temperature differences (uniform temperature differences). Changes in dynamic characteristics due to temperature variations were compared with the changes due to decreasing pre-tension in one of the cables. In general, it is shown that the change in structural frequencies made by temperature changes could be equivalent to the change made by damage (slacking). Different combinations of materials used and boundary conditions are also investigated. These are shown to have a significant impact on the pre-stress level and the natural frequencies of the tensegrity structures when the environment temperature is changed.

Abstract [sv]

Användandet av vibrationsbaserade hälsokontrollsmetoder (VHM) för strukturer ökar snabbt.Detta har möjliggjorts av utvecklingen inom  mätmetoder och mätutrus- tning under de senaste decennierna.Dessa metoder använder sig av de uppmätta eller simulerade vibrationsegenskaperna  underdesign-, uppbyggnads- och  nyttjandestadierna hos många slag av byggnadsverk.

Styvheten och resonansfrekvenserna hos tensegritets-strukturer är i hög grad beroendepå den aktuella förspänningsnivån. Föreliggande arbete undersöker möjlig- heterna attanvända detta beroende i konstruktion, byggande och utvärdering av sådana strukturer.

Den första delen av  föreliggande arbete studerar förbättringar av de vanligen användamodellerna för simulering av resonansfrekvenser hos tensegritetsstrukturergenom att införa de ingående komponenternas böjningsegenskaper, och genom att i enriktning koppla normalkraften till böjstyvheten. Genom detta kan såväl lokala som globalavibrationsmoder hittas. Resonansfrekvenserna ses därmed som icke-linjärt beroende avförspänningsnivån i strukturen. Detta ger därmed möjligheter att diagnosticera strukturenskondition från uppmätta frekvenser. De nya simuleringsmöjligheternademonstreras för enkla, plana strukturer, men de utvecklade metoderna kan också lättanpassas till mera komplexa fall.

Den andra delen av arbetet undersöker hur strukturernas vibrationsegenskaper ärberoende på temperatureffekter i omgivningen. I första hand beaktas säsongsvisa (likformiga)temperaturvariationer. Förändringar i de dynamiska egenskaperna beroende påtemperaturförändringar jämfördes med dem som beror på en minskande förspänning hos någonav de ingående kablarna. I allmänhet gäller att förändringarna i resonansfrekvenser kanvara av samma storleksordning som de som beror på skador (minskad förspänning).Olika kombinationer av material, och olika upplagsförhållanden undersöktes.Dessa egenskaper visades ha en betydande effekt på förspänningsnivån, och därmed ocksåpå resonansfrekvenserna, hos tensegritets-strukturerna som utsätts för temperaturvariationer.

Abstract [en]

Vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life.The whole function, expressed by stiffness and frequencies of tensegrity structures are primarily related to the level of pre-stress. The present work investigates the possibilities to use this relation in designing, constructing and evaluating the tensegrity structures.One of the aims of the thesis was to improve the current models for resonance frequency simulation of tensegrities. This has been achieved by introducing the bending behaviour of all components, and by a one-way coupling between the axial force and the stiffness.The environmental temperature effects on vibration properties of tensegrity structures have been also  investigated. Changes in dynamic characteristics due to temperature variations were compared with the changes due to decreasing pre-tension in one of the cables. In general, it is shown that the change in structural frequencies coming from temperature changes could of several magnitude as those from damage.Coinciding natural frequencies and low stiffness are known issues of tensegrity structures. The former can be an obstacle in VHM, while the later normally limits their uses in real engineering applications. It has been shown that the optimum self-stress vector of tensegrity structures can be chosen such that their lowest natural frequency is high, and separated from others.The environmental temperature effects on vibration properties of tensegrity structures were revisited to find a solution such that the natural frequencies of the tensegrity structures are not strongly affected by the changes in the environmental temperature. An asymmetric self-stress vector can be chosen so that the criterion is fulfilled as well as possible. The level of pre-stress can also be regulated to achieve the solution. The last part of this thesis, services as a summary of the work.
