Abstract Damages occurred in a structure will lead to changes in modal parameters (natural frequencies and modal shapes). The relationship between modal parameters and damage parameters (locations and depths) is very complicated. Single detection method using natural frequencies or modal shapes can not obtain robust damage detection results from the inevitably noise-contaminated modal parameters. To eliminate the complexity, a hybrid approach using both of wavelets on the interval (interval wavelets) method and wavelet finite element model-based method is proposed to detect damage locations and depths. To avoid the boundary distortion phenomenon, Interval wavelets are employed to analyze the finite-length modal shape… More >
