Abstract
A vibration-based local damage identification method is proposed for truss-like structures with breathing cracks. Firstly, a bilinear model is established to represent the characteristics of breathing cracks, and the features of such cracks are detected through reciprocity and homogeneity tests on structural input-output signals. Since the crack is influenced by tensional and compressive forces on truss members, only one damage factor is required to quantify the stiffness reduction of each member. Subsequently, a dynamic equilibrium equation concerning the damage factor is constructed to identify the new load term. The integral equation method, which relies on the virtual work principle, is employed to obtain the displacement responses and loads under all tensile conditions. Finally, the mean value of cumulative damage coefficients for each truss member can be derived as their corresponding damage factor. Numerical examples involving a plane truss structure and a truss offshore platform are utilised to illustrate the effectiveness of this damage identification method. The results demonstrate exceptional precision and efficiency in accurately identifying various damages in truss structures under different excitations and signal-to-noise ratios. A actual space truss structure confirm that this damage identification method exhibits high-level precision in identifying single-member damages as well as multi-member damages with breathing cracks locally.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
