Abstract A mechanical system generally consists of many substructures. However, it is impossible to observe the dynamic behavior of any substructure directly when the whole structure is in operation. A method was proposed in this work to determine the FRFs of a substructure by using the measured FRFs of the whole structure and the priorly known FRFs of another substructure With this method, one can detect the structural damage more easily by observing the change of the FRFs of the damaged substructure.

The early detection and localization of damages is essential for operation, maintenance and cost of the structures. Because the frequency of vibration cannot be controlled in real-life structures, the methods for damage detection should work for wide range of frequencies. In the current work, the equation of motion of rotating beam is derived and presented and the damage is modelled by reduced thickness. Vibration based methods which use Poincaré maps are implemented for damage localization. It is shown that for clamped-free boundary conditions these methods are not always reliable and their success depends on the excitation frequency. The shapes of vibration of damaged and undamaged beams are shown and it is concluded that appropriate selection criteria should be defined for successful detection and localization of damages.
