For example, the magnetic field may change in the target structure 300 by the first magnetic field B1 generated from the sensor 200. [ When the magnetic field is changed in the target structure 300 by the first magnetic field B1, eddy currents EC in the form of swirls may occur in the target structure 300. [ The eddy currents EC can be generated along the second direction D2. When a spiral eddy current EC is generated in the target structure 300, a second magnetic field B2 may be generated in the target structure 300 by the eddy current EC.

The first coil 220 may provide the first magnetic field B1 to the target structure 300 based on the excitation signal ES. The excitation signal ES may be provided from the waveform generator 100 based on the transmission control signal TCS. For example, the magnitude of the excitation signal ES and the frequency of the excitation signal ES may be varied according to the transmission control signal TCS. The excitation signal ES may be transmitted to the first coil 220 included in the sensor 200. The first magnetic field B1 may be generated around the sensor 200 when the excitation signal ES is transmitted to the first coil 220 included in the sensor 200. [ An eddy current EC can be generated in the target structure 300 disposed adjacent to the sensor 200 when a first magnetic field B1 is generated around the sensor 200.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, a structure diagnostic system 10 includes a waveform generator 100, a sensor 200, a target structure 300, and a digitizer 400. The waveform generator 100 provides an excitation signal ES having a predetermined frequency based on the transmission control signal TCS. The sensor 200 provides the first magnetic field B1 based on the excitation signal ES. The target structure 300 generates an eddy current EC in accordance with the first magnetic field B1 and provides the sensor 200 with a second magnetic field B2 generated based on the eddy current EC. The digitizer 400 digitizes the voltage signal VS corresponding to the second magnetic field B2 to provide a digital voltage signal DVS.

As time passes, the tensile force (TF) of the tendon 310 may decrease. If the tensile force (TF) of the tendon 310 decreases over time, there may be a problem with the safety of the target structure 300. If the tensile force TF of the tendon 310 decreases with the lapse of time, the stress SF of the tendon 310 may also decrease.

The wedge 330 can generate the eddy current EC and the second magnetic field B2 based on the electrical conductivity that varies with the stress SF. For example, the wedge 330 may surround the periphery of the tendon 310 as in FIG. The wedge 330 may be made of a ferromagnetic material. Depending on the stress SF, the electrical conductivity of the wedge 330 may vary. As the stress SF decreases, the electrical conductivity may increase and the electrical conductivity may decrease as the stress SF increases.

In an exemplary embodiment, the strength of the eddy current EC may vary based on the electrical conductivity of the wedge 330. For example, if the electrical conductivity increases as the stress SF decreases, the intensity of the eddy currents EC may increase. Further, when the electrical conductivity decreases as the stress SF increases, the intensity of the eddy currents EC can be reduced.

In an exemplary embodiment, the intensity of the second magnetic field B2 may vary based on the intensity of the eddy current EC. For example, as the intensity of the eddy current EC increases, the intensity of the second magnetic field B2 may increase, and as the intensity of the eddy current EC decreases, the intensity of the second magnetic field B2 may decrease have.

[ For example, the first time interval TI1 may be from the first time T1 to the second time T2. In addition, the second time interval TI2 may be from the third time T3 to the fourth time T4. During the first time interval TI1, the digitizer 400 may provide the first digital voltage signal DVS1. Also, during the second time interval TI2, the digitizer 400 may provide the second digital voltage signal DVS2.

As time passes, the tensile force (TF) of the tendon 310 may decrease. If the tensile force (TF) of the tendon 310 decreases over time, there may be a problem with the safety of the target structure 300. The first digital voltage signal DVS1 obtained during the first time period TI1 and the second digital voltage signal DVS2 obtained during the second time period TI2 are compared to diagnose the safety of the target structure 300 . The structure diagnosis system 10 may compare the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the second digital voltage signal DVS2 to determine the damage index DI of the target structure 300. [ The safety of the target structure 300 can be diagnosed based on the damage index DI of the target structure 300. [ If the damage index DI of the target structure 300 increases, there may be a problem with the safety of the target structure 300.

In an exemplary embodiment, the structure diagnostic system 10 calculates the damage index (DI) of the target structure 300 based on the variance value of the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the variance value of the second digital voltage signal DVS2 Can be determined. For example, as the difference between the dispersion value of the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the dispersion value of the second digital voltage signal DVS2 increases, the damage index DI of the target structure 300 may increase.

For example, as the tensile force TF of the tendon 310 decreases, the damage index DI of the target structure 300 may increase. When the tensile force TF of the tendon 310 is 150 kN in the second time interval TI2, the difference between the dispersion value of the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the dispersion value of the second digital voltage signal DVS2 The damage index (DI) of the target structure 300 may be 0.005. In the case where the tensile force TF of the tendon 310 is 90 kN in the second time period TI2, the difference between the dispersion value of the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the dispersion value of the second digital voltage signal DVS2 The damage index (DI) of the target structure 300 may be 0.013. When the tensional force TF of the tendon 310 is 30 kN in the second time period TI2, the difference between the dispersion value of the first digital voltage signal DVS1 and the dispersion value of the second digital voltage signal DVS2 The damage index (DI) of the target structure 300 may be 0.017.
