This paper presents a wavelet-based method of identification modal parameter and damage detection in a free vibration response. An algorithm for modal parameter identification and damage detection is purposed and complex Morlet wavelet is chosen as an analysis wavelet function. This paper only focuses on identification of natural frequencies of the structural system. The method utilizes both undamaged and damage experiment data of free vibration response of the truss structure system. Wavelet scalogram is utilizes for damage detection. The change of energy components for undamaged and damage structure is investigated from the plot of wavelet scalogram which corresponded to the detection of damage.

The number of vibration response sensors required for structural damage detection andprecise localization on a continuous structural topology is investigated. For damage detection thestate–of–the–art of vibration based methods need a required number of sensors q that may be “low”compared to the number of structural modes m, that is q << m. Yet, the opposite is generally suggestedfor precise damage localization, that is q > m. In this study the hypothesis that a “low” numberof vibration response sensors, q << m, may, under certain conditions, suffice for precise damage localization,is postulated. This hypothesis is “proven” experimentally by demonstrating that preciselocalization is indeed possible using a single vibration response sensor and an advanced StructuralHealth Monitoring methodology on a laboratory 3D truss structure.

This study investigates the possibilities for damage detection and location using the vibration response of an aircraft wing. A simplified finite element model of an aircraft wing is used to model its vibration response. The model is subjected to modal analysis- its natural frequencies are estimated and the mode shapes are determined. Two types of damage are considered - localised and distributed. The wing model is divided into a number of volumes. The goal of the study is to investigate the possibility to use the vibration response of an aircraft wing and especially its modal characteristics for the purposes of damage detection. So we’ll be trying to find suitable features, which can be used to detect damage and restrict it to one of the introduced volumes. The sensitivity of the modal frequencies of the model to damage in different locations is studied. Some general trends in the behaviour of these frequencies with change of the damage location are investigated. The utilization of the modal frequencies for detecting damage in a certain part of the wing is discussed
