Application of Ritz Vectors to Damage Detection for a Grid-type Bridge Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an experimental study on the use of Ritz vectors for damage detection of a grid-type bridge model. A new procedure to extract Ritz vectors from experimental modal analysis is proposed and demonstrated using the test structure. Using appropriate load patterns, Ritz vectors can be made more sensitive to damage than modal vectors. The results indicate that the use of load-dependent Ritz vectors produce better damage diagnoses than the modal vectors.

Damage Detection of Bridge by Rayleigh-Ritz Method
As a result of environmental and accidental actions, damage occurs in structures. The early detection of any defect can be achieved by regular inspection and condition assessment. In this way, the safety and reliability of structures can be increased. This paper is devoted to propose a new and effective method for detecting, locating, and quantifying beam-like structures. This method is based o...
متن کاملExtraction of Ritz Vectors from Vibration Test Data
Modal parameters obtained from modal testing (such as modal vectors, natural frequencies, and damping ratios) have been used extensively in system identi"cation, "nite element model updating, and structural health monitoring. As an alternative to modal vectors, load-dependent Ritz vectors have been shown useful in various areas of structural dynamics such as model reduction and damage detection...

Ritz method is one of the techniques for reduction of the degrees of freedom. Efficiency of Ritz method depends on used vectors. The Ritz method uses load depended vectors in spite of modal method and for this reason it is expected to give better results than modal method. This is the advantage of Ritz method. It is worth mention that the mode shapes are independent of loading. The vectors that...
متن کاملA Bayesian Probabilistic Damage Detection Using Load-dependent Ritz Vectors
This paper demonstrates the possibility of incorporating load-dependent Ritz vectors, as an alternative to modal parameters, into a Bayesian probabilistic framework for detecting damages in a structure. Recent research has shown that it is possible to extract load-dependent Ritz vectors from vibration tests [2]. This paper shows that load-dependent Ritz vectors have the following potential adva...
