Summary
Based on modal strain energy, an improved structural damage detection algorithm
is developed in this paper. By dividing the contribution of higher modes into two parts,
i.e., the static and dynamic contributions, the static term can be expressed by lower
modes and the dynamic term was approximately approached.
According to the structural modal methods, with a change of stiffness and mode shape, it can be assumed that,
where, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The total contribution of lower and higher modes can be expressed as follows, The modal strain energy change (MSEC) of the ![]() ![]() Substituting equation (61) into equation (62) Selecting the values of MSE of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Coefficient ![]() ![]() This approach could be applied to detect structural damage location and quantity by using only the first one or two modes. The three numerical examples with different structures, but the same damaged case, are studied in present. The results illustrate that the present method is simple and effective with satisfactory precision both in locating the place of damage and estimating the magnitude of damage. The following conclusions have been obtained:
