Detection of Structural Damage Through Nonlinear Identification by Using Modal Testing

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Topics in Modal Analysis, Volume 7

Abstract

Structural damages usually introduce nonlinearity to the system. A previously developed nonlinear identification method is employed to detect crack type structural damage. The method requires the measurement of FRFs at various points in order to locate the damage. The method makes it also possible to determine the extent of damage by identifying the level of nonlinearity. The verification of the method is demonstrated with experimental case studies using beams with different levels of cracks. The approach proposed in this study is very promising to be used in practical systems, but still open to further improvements.
