Research on Curvature Mode Characteristics of Damaged Simply Supported Beam

Abstract:

This paper approaches the rules of curvature mode and curvature mode difference about a simply supported beam. On the basis of the theory of curvature mode, through numerical simulation analysis of simply supported beam on four conditions, the result of simply supported beam with curvature mode and curvature mode difference were obtained. The results show that for the damaged beam information with numerical simulation, the curvature mode and curvature mode difference index calculated by difference method at the unit length unevenly is with strong noise, which can even submerge the beam damage information, and for different damage index of the beam, damage information from curvature mode difference curve is stronger and effected by unit length weaker than those from curvature mode curve, and damage information from curvature mode curve and curvature mode difference curve decrease with the increasing mode order.
