A damage in a structure alters its dynamic characteristics. The change is characterized by changes in the modal parameters, i.e., modal frequencies, modal damping values and mode shapes associated with each modal frequency. Changes also occur in some of the structural parameters; namely, the mass, d

โฆ Synopsis
A method is developed for the detection of the existence and location of structural damage. Structural damage is considered to be at the macroscopic level. The detection is carried out in two parts. In the first part, the eigensolution of the structure is identified using a modal parameter identification technique and the system response. The identified eigensolution is then used together with properties of the eigenvalue problem to detect the damaged components. A sensitivity analysis is performed, where the effects of having errors in the mathematical model, and having inaccuracies in the modal identification procedure, are analyzed. In the event of failure of several parts or components a search procedure is proposed together with the detection process.

Over the last few decades, the damage identification methods of civil and mechanical structures have been drawing much interest from various fields. Wavelet analysis, a relatively new mathematical and signal processing tool, is one of such methods that has been studied recently. It is a time-frequen
A non-destructive time domain approach to examine structural damage is presented. Unlike frequency domain methods which generally rely on analytical models, this method is independent of modal parameters and analytical models.
