Performance Degradation Assessment of a Beam Structure by Using Wavelet Packet Energy

Abstract:

The evaluation on damage event of a beam structure is carried out in this study through an integration of knowledge in damage detection and signal process. A damage detection approach based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) is developed by decomposing and reconstructing the structural dynamic responses to obtain the signal energy distribution at different levels. The WPT coefficients are reconstructed to extract the signals in various frequency ranges and determine the signal energy in different frequency bands. A WPT component energy index is proposed to establish the slope vector as well as curvature vector and then the judge on the slope vector and curvature vector can indicate the damage event. Parametric study is carried out to investigate the relationship between the index amplitude and the damage extent. The results from this study demonstrate that the detection approach proposed can accurately identify the damage event in the structure.
