Health Monitoring of Pars steel structures in Sabzevar

The aforementioned structures and mechanical equipment are a set of complex and interconnected structural elements, holders, tubes, and rotating equipment. Vibrations in such sets are unavoidable. On the other hand, vibrations with an amplitude greater than the allowable limit cause fatigue and damage to the joints and structural elements. These damages are first seen by cutting in bolts, failure in welding, and continued with damage to the main members of the structure. The design and execution of specific details that can reduce the impact of vibration damage with the lowest possible cost is the main aim of monitoring these structures.

The first step is performing structural health monitoring tests and recording the related data and then processing the data obtained from the test using signal processing algorithms. The output of this step is the calculation of the vibration characteristics applied to the structure and the response of the intended structure. By combining the information obtained from the previous step with the information obtained from the software models related to the structure, we can measure the criticality of the existing situation and the level of vibration can be reduced from the critical to the allowable level by using structural modifications of structure and using energy damper elements.

Performing periodic structural health monitoring can effectively predict the damage to the structures before their occurrence and significant damage to structures and equipment can be prevented by applying corrective modification techniques and strengthening structures.
