new sensitivity-based methods for structural damage diagnosis by least square minimal residual techniques
Authors
abstract
this paper presents new sensitivity-based methods for detection of structural damage using incomplete noisy modal data. these methods are based on the first-order derivative of modal parameters. changes of natural frequency do not usually provide spatial information on the structural damage. they are also not sensitive to the local damage. in this paper, a new sensitivity function is proposed using method of lagrange multipliers in order to deal with these weaknesses when applying natural frequency in the sensitivity-based damage diagnosis. mode shape is the other vibrational data which leads to better results in comparison with natural frequency. however, usually some mode shape’s sensitivities require all modes to obtain exact sensitivity functions. thus, an improved sensitivity of mode shape is presented to constitute an applicable formulation based on using incomplete modes. to determine the damage quantity, a powerful iterative method named least-square minimal residual (lsmr) technique is proposed in the condition of incomplete modes. subsequently, regularized least-square minimal residual (rlsmr) method is presented to detect structural damage when the incomplete modal parameters are contaminated by noise. applicability and effectiveness of the proposed methods are numerically verified using two practical examples consisting of a six-story shear building and a planner truss. eventually, numerical results indicate that the lsmr and rlsmr are influential algorithms for precisely determining the damage severity. furthermore, obtained results of damage diagnosis process in the free-noise data show that the proposed sensitivities of natural frequency and mode shape can provide reliable and accurate results for structural damage diagnosis.

A NEW DAMAGE INDEX FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION BY MEANS OF WAVELET RESIDUAL FORCE
In this paper a new method is presented for structural damage identification. First, the damaged structure is excited by short duration impact acceleration and then, the recorded structural displacement time history responses under free vibration conditions are analyzed by Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Wavelet Residual Force (WRF) is calculated. Finally, an effective d...
full textNew conditions for non-stagnation of minimal residual methods
In the solution of large linear systems, a condition guaranteeing that a minimal residual Krylov subspace method makes some progress, i.e., that it does not stagnate, is that the symmetric part of the coefficient matrix be positive definite. This condition results in a well-established worst-case bound for the convergence rate of the iterative method, due to Elman. This bound has been extensive...

In this study, the finite element model updating was simulated by reducing the stiffness of the members. Due to lack of access to the experimental results, the data obtained from an analytical model were used in the proposed structural damage scenarios. The updating parameters for the studied structures were defined as a reduction coefficient applied to the stiffness of the members. Parameter v...

This paper presents a numerical model for damage identification of composite structures. The model is based on the orthogonality conditions sensitivities of the damaged and undamaged structures mode shapes and relies on a discretisation by finite elements. The damage is directly related to the stiffness reduction of the damaged element. A study on the use of eigenvector sensitivities for damage...
