Damage Identification of Space Truss Structure Based on Strain Modal and Wavelet Transform

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the characteristics of space truss structures, the concept of modal strain energy is introduced and square difference in elemental modal strain is presented. Through the square difference in elemental modal strain and wavelet transform, this paper presents a method for space truss structure damage recognition. The structural damage index is presented with the change of wavelet coefficients. Numerical simulation results show that: this method is effective to locate the single, multiple damages and light, severe damage with the first mode information. The preliminary tries for damage extent identification were made by the wavelet coefficients.
