In this paper, a novel damage detection algorithm is developed based on blind source separation in conjunction with time-series analysis. Blind source separation (BSS), is a powerful signal processing tool that is used to identify the modal responses and mode shapes of a vibrating structure using only the knowledge of responses. In the proposed method, BSS is first employed to estimate the modal response using the vibration measurements. Time-series analysis is then performed to characterize the mono-component modal responses and successively the resulting time-series models are utilized for one-step ahead prediction of the modal response. With the occurrence of newer measurements containing the signature of damaged system, a variance-based damage index is used to identify the damage instant. Once the damage instant is identified, the damaged and undamaged modal parameters of the system are estimated in an adaptive fashion. The proposed method solves classical damage detection issues including the identification of damage instant, location as well as the severity of damage. The proposed damage detection algorithm is verified using extensive numerical simulations followed by the full scale study of UCLA Factor building using the measured responses under Parkfield earthquake.

Abstract To ensure the human safety in the process of human–robot cooperation, this paper proposes a robot collision detection method without external sensors based on time-series analysis (TSA). In the investigation, first, based on the characteristics of the external torque of the robot, the internal variation of the external torque sequence during the movement of the robot is analyzed. Next, a time-series model of the external torque is constructed, which is used to predict the external torque according to the historical motion information of the robot and generate a dynamic threshold. Then, the detailed process of time-series analysis for collision detection is described. Finally, the real-machine experiment scheme of the proposed real-time collision detection algorithm is designed and is used to perform experiments with a six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) articulated industrial robot. The results show that the proposed method helps to obtain a detection accuracy of 100%; and that, as compared with the existing collision detection method based on a fixed symmetric threshold, the proposed method based on TSA possesses smaller detection delay and is more feasible in eliminating the sensitivity difference of collision detection in different directions.

The paper describes on-going research effort at detecting and localizing damage in plate-like structures using mode shape curvature based damage detection algorithm. The proposed damage index uses data on exclusively mode shape curvature from the damaged structure. This method was originally developed for beam-like structures. The article generalizes the method of plate-like structures characterized by two-dimensional mode shape curvature. To examine limitations of the method, several sets of simulated data are applied and the obtained results of the numerical detection of damage are validated by comparing them with the findings of the case of the experimental test. The simulated test cases include the damage of various levels of severity. In order to ascertain the sensitivity of the proposed method for noisy experimental data, numerical mode shapes are corrupted with different levels of random noise. Modal frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of an aluminium plate containing mill-cut damage are obtained via finite element models for numerical simulations and by using a scanning laser vibrometer (SLV) for the experimental study.
