[ 1 ] - Structural Damage Identification of Plate Structures based on Frequency Response Function and Natural Frequencies

In this paper, a structural damage identification method (SDIM) is developed for plate-like structures. This method is derived using dynamic equation of undamaged/damaged plate, in which local change in flexural rigidity is characterized utilizing a damage distribution function. The SDIM requires to modal data in the intact state and frequency response of damage state where most of vibration ba...
