Based on mode shape, a new parameter was put forward—mode shape curvature ratio, for detecting structure damages. And it was also the input vector of the RBF neural network. Then through finite element analysis and calculating, the training and forecasting samples were got for the network. The trained neural network can identify the damage location and degree of the frame structure. It proved that this method is simple and valid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
