Detection and Localisation of Structural Damage Based on the Polynomial Annihilation Edge Detection: An Experimental Verification

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present paper describes an experimental validation of a new structural damage detection method based on the Polynomial Annihilation Edge Detection (PAED) technique. It is well known that concentrated damage such as a crack, causes a discontinuity in the rotations and consequently in the first derivatives of the mode shapes. On this basis, the PAED, a numerical method for detecting discontinuities in smooth piecewise functions and their derivatives, can be applied to the problem of damage detection and localisation in beam-like structures for which only post-damage mode shapes are available. As described in this paper, in order to verify this approach experimentally (a numerical assessment having already been documented in previous papers), vibration tests on a cantilever steel beam with a saw-cut have been performed and the Operational Deflection Shapes (ODS) determined. As the approach requires a reasonably high spatial resolution of the ODS, a scanning laser vibrometer, capable of acquiring data rapidly at a very large number of observation points, was used.
