Papers by Keyword: Sinc Interpolation

Abstract: The damage analysis based on the modal parameters usually need to compare the test data with the computed data by theoretical analysis. In bridge structure damage analysis, it is impossible that the sensors are set at every node. So the test data need to be extended to every node by using interpolation technology. In the paper, three interpolation methods, cubic interpolation method, cubic spline interpolation method and sinc interpolation method, are introduced. Their applications in bridge structure damage analysis are discussed. The experiment results show that the best interpolation method is cubic spline interpolation method. Using the data processed by interpolation technology can well obtain the damage location of bridge.
