ACCURATE CHARACTERIZATION OF CRACKS IN BEAM-LIKE STRUCTURES USING SQUARE CURVATURE MODE SHAPE: WITHOUT BASE LINE DATA

Damage Detection in Beam-like Structures using Finite Volume Method

In this paper the damage location in beam like-structure is determined using static and dynamic data obtained using finite volume method. The change of static and dynamic displacement due to damage is used to establish an indicator for determining the damage location. In order to assess the robustness of the proposed method for structural damage detection, three test examples including a static...

Normalized Curvature Ratio for Damage Detection in Beam-Like Structures

Fiber Optic Sensors (FOS) offer numerous advantages for structural health monitoring. In addition to being durable, lightweight, and capable of multiplexing, they offer the ability to monitor strain in both static and dynamic mode. FOS also allow for instrumentation of large areas of a structure with long-gage sensors which helps enable global monitoring of the structure. Drawing upon these ben...

An effective approach for damage identification in beam-like structures based on modal flexibility curvature and particle swarm optimization

In this paper, a computationally simple approach for damage localization and quantification in beam-like structures is proposed. This method is based on using modal flexibility curvature (MFC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Analytical studies in the literature have shown that changes in the modal flexibility curvature can be considered as a sensitive and suitable criterion for...
