Abstract A damage detection method has been implemented on a simply supported beam structure. The method is developed with both a theoretical model and experimental results. The simply supported beam contains one piezoelectric actuator and one piezoelectric sensor. The theoretical model was obtained from an energy formulation and a Rayleigh-Ritz approach. Matrices were composed in a State Space model to reproduce the input-output system between actuator and sensor. The damage was modeled with material properties variations. The experimental set up consisted of an aluminum beam with damage introduced by adding different weights in various locations. The dynamic changes produced were investigated and compared with theoretical prediction with reasonable agreement obtained. In order to quantify the size of damage, Power Spectral Density approach was used. To locate damage, frequency changes were used.

The Impact

In order to discuss the displacement impact coefficient of the simply supported beam bridge, reinforced-concrete simply supported beam models with different span and different section stiffness are set up using the finite element method in the paper. The maximum dynamic displacement of beam models under the running vehicle is calculated. Combined with the maximum static displacement, the corresponding impact coefficients of models are calculated. At the same time, the modal analysis of beams is conducted to calculate the impact coefficient based on the base frequency. From comparing with the displacement impact coefficient, the bridge spans and section stiffness influence on impact coefficient is analyzed. Results show that the influence of section stiffness on impact coefficient can be ignored, but the influence of the change of span cannot be ignored. It will provide a reference for designing and detection technology of reinforced-concrete simply supported beam.

This paper presents an effective way in damage detection of beam structures using the wavelet analysis along with the general beam solution. Two case studies are considered: (1) a clamped beam with a damage point of zero bending moment; and (2) a simply supported beam with a transverse open crack. The proposed method is capable of revealing the precise damage locations which is generally difficult to be identified using the standard eigenvalue analysis.

Output Only

In this paper, a two-stage time-domain output-only damage detection method is proposed with a new energy-based damage index. In the first stage, the random decrement technique (RDT) is employed to calculate the random decrement signatures (RDSs) from the acceleration responses of a simply supported beam subjected to a moving load. The RDSs are then filtered using the Savitzky–Golay filter (SGF) in the second stage. Next, the filtered RDSs are processed by the proposed energy-based damage index to locate and quantify the intensity of the possible damage. Finally, by fitting a Gaussian curve to the damage index resulted from the non-damage conditions, the whole process is systematically implemented as a baseline-free method. The proposed method is numerically verified using a simply supported beam under moving sprung mass with different velocities and damage scenarios. The results show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the damage location/quantification from the acceleration data without any prior knowledge of either input load or damage characteristics. Additionally, the proposed method is neither sensitive to noise nor velocity variation, which makes it ideal when obtaining a constant velocity is difficult.

Simply Supported

This paper presents a static-based method for damage identification in the simply supported beam structure using the incomplete measured static displacement parameters. The presented method makes use of the singular value decomposition of structural static displacement change, which is obtained by the static test of structure. It has been shown that structural damage can be detected by the number of the non-zero singular values of the static displacement change. The significant advantage of the proposed method is that it is economical in computation and is simple to implement. A simply supported beam structure is analyzed as a numerical example to verify the present method. Results show that the proposed method performs well even if the measurement errors inevitably make the damage assessment more difficult. It has been shown that the presented static-based methodology may be a promising tool to be used by research groups working on experimental damage detection.

Velocity Response

In this paper, the possibility and validity of damage detection based on velocity response of a simply supported beam under the moving load are examined theoretically and numerically. It includes the following parts: First, the theoretic background of the beam vibration subjecting to moving load is briefly described. And then, the velocity responses of a simple supported beam are calculated by software Ansys. Using wavelet transform, the damage location can be identified successfully. At last, the effects of noise and load speed are discussed in detail. Numerical studies show the validity of the proposed method and a good noise tolerance using the velocity response.
