Damage identification by the eigenparameter decomposition of structural flexibility change

Abstract: SUMMARYThe use of changes in dynamically measured flexibility matrices to detect structural damage has received considerable attention during the last years. A new flexibility-based method is proposed in this study to provide an insight to the characterizations of structural damage. The presented method makes use of the eigenparameter decomposition of structural flexibility change and approaches the damage identification problem in a decoupled manner. First, a theory is developed to determine the number of dam… Show more

“…Without loss of generality, we can assume that K i in the global coordinate has a dimension of n and a rank of r , where r < n . Yang and Liu proposed the eigen‐parameter decomposition of an elemental stiffness matrix K i as follows: Ki=UiΛiUiT=j=1rσijuijuijT, where K i is the stiffness matrix of the i th element in the global coordinate with a size of n × n , n denotes the number of structural DOFs. σij represents the j th eigenvalue of K i , uij stands for the corresponding eigenvector, Λ i refers to the eigenvalue matrix, and U i signifies the eigenvector matrix.…”

“…4 Once the eigenvalue and eigenvector matrices are determined from a power spectral analysis, the differential flexibility matrix is determined by subtracting the baseline modal flexibility matrix from the damage modal flexibility matrix. The number of damaged elements in the system is given by the number of non-zero values in the diagonal of the eigenvalue matrix of the differential flexibility matrix.…”

“…4 It has been observed that one of the greatest advantages of using the modal flexibility matrix instead of the stiffness matrix to detect damage is that the modal flexibility matrix can be accurately be determined using only a few of the lower frequency modes (which are less prone to measurement errors produced by noise) and that it is very sensitive to damage. 5 However, this method has been shown to be able to locate and calculate damage extent in a purely analytical framework.…”
