Abstract:
Line-type damage is abundant in engineering structures that have been in service for a long time. Vibration-based nondestructive testing as a global method has been extensively used in structural damage identification. In this study, a two-dimensional directional continuous wavelet transform (2D-DCWT)-based damage identification algorithm using “Morlet2d” wavelet for line-type damage detection in plate structures is presented. An analytical long narrow notch-type damage model of simply-supported plates is proposed to evaluate line-type damage effect on plate vibration performance. Based on the proposed model, the biggest challenge in parameter selection of wavelet analysis is solved. The fundamental aspects of 2D-DCWT algorithm in term of notch location and orientation are assessed. A multi-mode shape fusion approach is presented to make the 2D-DCWT algorithm apply to the high-order mode shapes.
