Structural damage detection with damage induction vector and best achievable vector

  • Published:
Journal of Shanghai University (English Edition)

Abstract

This paper presents a new method using the damage induction vector (DIV) and the best achievable vector (BAV) by which the change of modes due to structural damage can be applied to determine the location and scale of damage in structures. By the DIV, undamage elements can be casily identified and the damage detection can be limited to a few domains of the structure. The structural damage is located by computing the Euclidean distance between the DIV and its BAV. The loss of both stiffness and mass properties can be located and quantified. The characteristic of this method is less calculation and there is no limitation of damage scale. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by detecting the damages of the shallow arches.
