Summary
The problem of non-destructively detecting and localising cracks in plate-like
structures is addressed in this paper. A new methodology, based on Gaussian
process regression, has been utilised for the detection and localisation of damage in
an isotropic plate. The approach has already been proposed by the authors for
detecting discontinuities in the smoothness of the mode shapes functions caused by
cracks in the case of beam-like structures, and is now extended to the case of two-dimensional
structures. The effectiveness of this methodology has been analysed
with respect to simulated data using a finite element model of a plate with a crack
and increasing amounts of noise. The results are encouraging and consequently it
will be worthwhile to further investigate the methodology.
