Analysis suggestion for vehicle scanning method
Bayer, Jan
An analytical approach is suggested that can be conveniently applied in the framework of the Vehicle scanning method (VSM). It assumes that the modal parameters of a bridge will be imported from a finite element (FE) program into MATLAB, where the structural response caused by a moving mass and a moving spring mass is solved using coupling equations and numerical integration. A mathematical formulation of the solution is presented together with a short numerical case study that compares the results to a traditional closed form solution. It is shown that when comparing both forms of analysis the suggested approach is more accurate in the case of slow velocities of the passing sprung mass. Other advantages are that the method allows for the mass of the vehicle or (tractor) towing vehicle and a damping \nto be included in the calculation. The user-friendly preprocessing in commercial FE programs can also be considered an advantage.

Adaptation of methods for cyclo-stationary processes for noisy structural health data
Fischer, Cyril ; Bayer, Jan ; Náprstek, Jiří ; Urushadze, Shota
In structural health analysis, various techniques, including indirect measurement via monitoring vehicles, often yield data with significant randomness and insufficient frequency separation. Conversely, the desired attributes under scrutiny are periodic in nature. Thus, methodologies designed to identify cyclo-stationary properties within noisy data can be adapted for such scenarios, assuming an adequate length of the recorded data.

Modeling the moving cogwheel load - analysis using ANSYS & Matlab
Bayer, Jan
A moving impulse load generated by a heavy cogwheel (CW) can be used as a testing excitation for bridges. This previously proposed type of dynamic testing offers theoretically short testing times. Laboratory experiments confirmed already its capability of damage indication by repeated testing. This contribution suggests an approach how to solve the cogwheel movement using a Finite Element (FE) solver and Matlab. As the solution is theoretically nonlinear, the necessary limiting conditions for its application are formulated. Then the analysis is applied to simulate the passage of the CW over a simple laboratory model in order to compare it to laboratory experiments.

Ochrana památkových objektů proti vibracím
Urushadze, Shota ; Pirner, Miroš ; Bayer, Jan
Předkládaný památkový postup byl vytvořen v letech 2018–2021 při řešení úkolu NAKI č. DG18P02OVV040, nazvaného 'Památky v pohybu', financovaného MK ČR. Podkladem pro vypracování tohoto památkového postupu byla 30‐letá činnost Prof. Pirnera, Ing. Urushadzeho a Ing. Bayera v oblasti technické seizmicity a stavební dynamiky obecně. Navržený památkový postup je vlastně metodickým návodem, jak postupovat, pokud se objeví u památek nějaké poruchy nebo negativní projevy, které by mohly souviset s vibracemi, včetně způsobů jejich řešení. K jednotlivým bodům postupu jsou uváděny příklady z dlouholeté praxe. Obecně tato vyšetřování zahrnují teoretickou a experimentální analýzu včetně terénního průzkumu, nedestruktivní a laboratorní testy na modelech, modelování metodou konečných prvků.\n

Solving the moving mass problem on large finite element models with modal analysis – estimation of the discrete movement error
Bayer, Jan
Solving transient dynamic problems on large finite element (FE) models using a direct integration requires a high sampling rate and therefore also considerable computing times because of the large system matrices. Movement of a mass on a FE model has to follow the discrete pattern of the FEs, and is therefore of a discrete character. This introduces an unknown\nerror into the analytical results. Applying modal analysis (MA) reduces the number of equations used in the subsequent numerical integration by orders of magnitude. Resampling of the mode shapes to the required sampling rate makes it possible to solve the moving mass problem much more quickly and quasi-continuously. The performed comparative analytical study using ANSYS and MATLAB showed that using a discrete movement on the FE mesh when solving a moving mass problem can cause a considerable error.

Analýza napjatosti kleneb v budově Univerzitního centra Masarykovy univerzity v Telči
Bayer, Jan ; Drdácký, Miloš
Zpráva shrnuje výsledky z místních šetření, expertních posudků a výpočtů, které se týkají kleneb v objektu bývalé jezuitské koleje v Telči na náměstí Zachariáše z Hradce č.p. 2. Podmětem pro šetření byl nedostatek podkladů pro posouzení zatížitelnost kleneb pro nový účel: zřízení veřejné knihovny kombinované s galerií. Provedené výpočty MKP slouží pro odhad napjatosti klenby v místnosti 0.22Aa nenahrazují statický výpočet, ale mohou sloužit jako podklad pro eventuální zpracování podrobného statického výpočtu.

Damage detection using a cogwheel load - numerical case study
Bayer, Jan
A moving impulse load generated by a heavy cogwheel (CW) can be used as a testing excitation for bridges. This proposed type of dynamic load acts along the entire driving path, its intensity is adjustable, and it can be very efficient in the case of resonance. However, higher harmonic components are an inevitable effect of this type of loading, complicating the vibration analysis. The present study investigates suitable procedures to detect and locate damage in structures using a cogwheel load and only one or a few transducers mounted on the bridge. This arrangement seems to be sensitive to early damage indication. Damage localization is also possible, but further research will be required to increase its credibility.

Moving dynamic test loads for road bridges - a case study
Bayer, Jan ; Urushadze, Shota
Two types of dynamic testing load for bridges - driving sprung mass and driving impulse load - areexamined from the drive-by identification point of view. Numerical studies in ANSYS using contact elements and in MATLAB using a modal solution together with coupling force were performed. Equations for the estimation of the impulse load caused by a rolling cogwheel were suggested. The experiments confirmed that a driving impulse load is more efficient in exciting bridge vibrations. This, together with the fact that impulse loading is not sensitive to surface roughness, leads to the conclusion that, as a method for bridge health monitoring, impulse loading is more promising than using a driving sprung mass
