Summary
In this paper a Bayesian approach was considered in order to identify localized damage occupying two distinct sites of a Mindlin Plate. The method is based on the measurement of the first natural frequencies of the plate and the determination of the modal shapes for both the reference state assumed to be undamaged and the actual damaged state. It was assumed that the measured natural frequencies are perturbed through a linear additive model by a Gaussian noise having a zero mean. The prior information was also assumed to be a multivariate Gaussian. These two random variables were assumed to be independent mutually and having proportional diagonal covariance matrices. The Bayesian approach has enabled then to estimate damage distribution undergone by the plate. The effectiveness of this approach was discussed finally as function of the two-site damage pattern.
