Damage Detection of Historic Timber Structure Based on Cross Correlation Function Amplitude Vectors
Cross Correlation Function Amplitude Vector(CorV) is a method of damage detection which is based on random vibration .In this paper, CorV is introduced in the damage detection of historic timber structure according to the characteristics of structure and damage.Meanwhile,the research has been done. CorV of structural damage before and after the change has been expressed that is based on Cross Correlation function amplitude Vector Criterion(CVAC) .Results show that there is a remarkable decrease of CVAC among the CorVs between damaged and intact structures.Damage locations can be determined through the relative change of CorVs which is before or after the damage of the structure . A basis can be provided for the damage of buildings and the ancient structure protection through this paper.
