A combined damage detection method based on modal strain energy and frequencies

In order to identify structural damage locations and extent, a method based on ridge estimation and modal strain energy is presented in this paper. First, structural modal strain energy is given and a modal strain energy sensitivity damage equation is obtained. Then, considering the TikhonovTT regularization theoryTT, a ridge estimation method is proposed to solve the damage equation and ridge parameter of the method is optimized. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed damage detection method based on ridge estimation and modal strain energy can identify structural damage locations and extent with good accuracy.

Modal Strain Energy

The paper presents an effective damage detection method of complex composite structures. It can be carried out through the experimental modal analysis of the damaged structure. The method using the improved Cross Modal Strain Energy (CMSE) technique and Niche GA has many advantages compared with other damage detection methods. The CMSE method can use any modes of the structure and the modes don’t need to be normalized or consistent in scale. The Niche GA improves the efficiency of the calculation and enhances the capacity of identifying structural damage localization. The model is the composite material airfoil case. The numerical results show that the method proposed in this paper is successful for damage detection of complex structures.

Damage Extent

In order to solve the damage detection problem, a damage detection method based on strain energy and evidence theory is presented in this paper. First, an evidence theory method is proposed to identify structural damage locations. Then, structural modal strain energy is utilized to quantify structural damage extents. In general, structural strain energy dissipation should be equal to the change of modal strain energy, according to this theory, a new energy equation is deduced, and structural damage extent can be obtained through the solution of the equation. The simulation results show that the method can perfectly identify damage locations and extents. Therefore, the proposed method is effective for the structural damage identification.
