Summary
A method aimed at improving the localisation of damage in beams based on the use
of finite differences is presented in this paper. This improvement is achieved by
differentiating modal rotation fields instead of modal displacement fields and by a
technique which allows the computation of an optimal spatial sampling to decrease
the propagation and amplification of noise and errors. It is shown that by using the
optimal spatial sampling the influence of the errors is diminished and relatively little
damage can be localised. The results also show that the damage intensity is
proportional to the modified curvature damage factor proposed in this paper.
