In this paper, a new intelligent portable mechanical system is introduced experimentally and theoretically to detect damage employing the fuzzy-genetic algorithm and EMD. For this purpose, the acceleration-time history is obtained from three points of a simply-supported beam utilizing accelerometer sensors. The gained signal is decomposed into small components by using an EMD method. Each decomposed component contains a specific frequency range. Finally, the proposed algorithm is designed to find the location and severity of damage through the frequency variation pattern among the safe and the damaged beam.

Most structural failures are due to break in consisting materials. These breaks begin with a crack, the extension of which is a serious threat to the behaviour of structure. Thus the methods of distinguishing and showing cracks are the most important subjects being investigated. In this article, a new smart portable mechanical system to detect damage in beam structures via using fuzzy-genetic algorithm is introduced. Acceleration-time history of the three points of beam is obtained. The signals are then decomposed into smaller components using new EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) method with every IMF containing a specific range of frequency. The dominant frequencies of the structure are obtained from these IMFs using Short-term Fourier transform. Subsequently, a new method of damage detection in simply supported beams is introduced based on fuzzy-genetic algorithm. The new method is capable of identifying the location and intensity of the damage. This algorithm is developed to detect the location and intensity of the damage along the beam, which can detect the damage location and intensity based on the pattern of beam frequency variations between undamaged and damaged states.

In recent study, in the growth of wireless technology single antenna that works with a specific frequency is becoming outdated. The antenna which is capable to work dynamically is encouraged. To make an antenna to work dynamically, modification in any of the antenna characteristics can be applied. In this proposed work, the antenna which can reconfigure its frequency is designed and analyzed. Microstrip patch antenna is most popular printed type antenna which is suitable for diverse applications. The antenna design consists of three PIN diodes which are placed in different positions on the patch. Depending upon the switching state of PIN diode the antenna can operate in different frequency ranges. The frequency range obtained ranges from 1.38 GHz to 3.24 GHz. Return loss value, VSWR obtained is of optimum level. The various gain of antenna is obtained in simulation. The analysis of the antenna is done in ANSYS HFSS software.
