基于模态振型和平稳小波变换的悬臂梁微小缺陷识别研究

结构损伤识别方法有很多种,通常结构振动模态振型对缺陷的损伤识别较为敏感,振型体现结构的固有属性及结构局部的特征,可以用于检测缺陷的存在及其位置。但是缺陷比较微小时,仅仅通过振型难以进行损伤识别。因此本文通过对振型进行平稳小波变换处理来检测悬臂梁的微小缺陷。通过有限元模态分析获得含不同缺陷深度、不同缺陷宽度、不同缺陷位置的悬臂梁模型的振型并利用平稳小波变换进行分析处理。结果表明:该方法可以准确判断缺陷的存在及其位置,并且平稳小波细节系数突变峰值随着缺陷深度增大而增大,随着缺陷宽度增大而增大;另外,该方法受振型节点影响,在工程实际应用时应综合前几阶次振型进行缺陷识别。     

小波分析在悬臂梁裂纹识别中的应用

基于空间信号的小波分析理论,将含裂纹悬臂梁前四阶振型信息直接用于小波变换,小波系数在空间域上的突变反映了裂纹的存在并指出了裂纹的位置.本文分析了前四阶振型对小波识别结果的敏感性,利用小波系数模极大值在尺度上的表现与Lipschitz指数之闻的关系建立了集中因子和裂纹深度之间的关系,以此来估计裂纹深度.鉴于实测信号往往是含噪声信号,分析了噪声对识别结果的影响规律.数值算例表明利用sym4小波对含裂纹梁的四阶振型信息进行小波分析可以准确地识别出裂纹的位置和深度;高阶振型对结构损伤较为敏感,高阶振型更适合于微裂纹和含噪声信息的处理,但高阶振型的非线性也会给裂纹识别带来一定的困难.使用本文方法进行结构裂纹参数识别,噪声对裂纹位置的影响只是指示清晰度的影响,基本不会产生错误的识别,而对裂纹深度的影响远比对位置的影响复杂,由于小波系数混入了噪声成分,从而增加了集中因子的取值,致使识别结果总是比真实结果偏大.

Single beam analysis of damaged beams verified using a strain energy based damage measure

Analytical expression of a new damage measure which relates the strain energy, to the damage location and magnitude, is presented in this paper. The strain energy expression is calculated using modes and natural frequencies of damaged beams that are derived based on single beam analysis considering both decrease in mass and stiffness. Decrease in mass and stiffness are a fallout of geometric discontinuity and no assumptions regarding the physical behavior of damage are made. The method is applicable to beams, with notch like non-propagating cracks, with arbitrary boundary conditions. The analytical expressions derived for mode shapes, curvature shapes, natural frequencies and an improved strain energy based damage measure, are verified using experiments. The improvement in the damage measure is that it is not assumed that the bending stiffness of the damaged beam is constant, and, equal to that of undamaged beam when calculating the strain energy of the entire beam. It is also not assumed that the bending stiffness of the element in which the damage is located is constant.     

Mass defect influence on the longitudinal vibration frequencies and mode shapes of a beam

The problem of the influence of complicated-shape defects on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of elastic systems is considered. The beam is considered as an example to discover the general properties of defects of various physical nature such as of mass, elasticity, and cross-section. Some notions of damage and a criterion that permits defectoscopy by nondestructive inspection techniques are introduced. The problem is solved in more detail for a free beam with a mass defect. The resonance method is used experimentally to determine the mass defect with high accuracy. The efficiency of the developed numerical-analytic and experimental approaches to studying the properties of elastic systems with defects is confirmed.

Monitoring structural damage of components using an effective modulus approach

This paper describes a novel nondestructive damage detection method that was developed to study the influence of a crack on the dynamic properties of a cantilever beam subjected to bending. Experimental measurements of transfer functions for the cracked cantilever beam revealed a change in the natural frequency with increasing crack length. A finite element model of a cracked element was created to compute the influence of severity and location of damage on the structural stiffness. The proposed model is based on the response of the cracked beam element under a static load. The change in beam deflection as a result of the crack is used to calculate the reduction in the global component stiffness. The reduction of the beam stiffness is then used to determine its dynamic response employing a modal analysis computational model. Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are used to quantify the elastic stiffness matrix of a finite element. The transfer functions from both theories compare well with the experimental results. The experimental and computational natural frequencies decreased with increasing crack length. Furthermore the Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories resulted in approximately the same decrease in the natural frequency with increasing crack length as experimentally measured.     

Crack detection of a double-beam carrying a concentrated mass

This paper presents the influence of a concentrated mass location on the natural frequencies of a cracked double-beam. The double-beam consists of two different beams connected by an elastic medium. The concentrated mass is located on the main beam. The relationship between the natural frequency and the location of concentrated mass is established and called “Frequency–Mass Location” (FML). The numerical simulations show that when there is a crack, the frequency of the double-beam changes irregularly when the concentrated mass is attacked at the crack position. This irregular change can be amplified by the wavelet transform and this is useful for crack detection: the crack location can be detected by the location of peaks in the wavelet transform of the FML. Finite element model for the cracked double-beam carrying a concentrated mass is presented and numerical simulations are also provided.     

AN APPROXIMATE ANALYSIS OF FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF A CRACKED HINGEDHINGED BEAM

Crack identification method in beam-like structures using changes in experimentally measured frequencies and Particle Swarm Optimization

In this paper, a technique is presented for the detection and localization of an open crack in beam-like structures using experimentally measured natural frequencies and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. The technique considers the variation in local flexibility near the crack. The natural frequencies of a cracked beam are determined experimentally and numerically using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The optimization algorithm is programmed in MATLAB. The algorithm is used to estimate the location and severity of a crack by minimizing the differences between measured and calculated frequencies. The method is verified using experimentally measured data on a cantilever steel beam. The Fourier transform is adopted to improve the frequency resolution. The results demonstrate the good accuracy of the proposed technique.     

FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM WITH BREATHING CRACK USING PERTURBATION METHOD

In this paper, a new analytical method for vibration analysis of a cracked simply supported beam is investigated. By considering a nonlinear model for the fatigue crack, the governing equation of motion of the cracked beam is solved using perturbation method. The solution of the governing equation reveals the superhaxmonics of the fundamental frequency due to the nonlinear effects in the dynamic response of the cracked beam. Furthermore, considering such a solution, an explicit expression is also derived for the system damping changes due to the changes in the crack parameters, geometric dimensions and mechanical properties of the cracked beam. The results show that an increase in the crack severity and approaching the crack location to the middle of the beam increase the system damping. In order to validate the results, changes in the fundamental frequency ratios against the fatigue crack severities are compared with those of experimental results available in the literature. Also, a comparison is made between the free response of the cracked beam with a given crack depth and location obtained by the proposed analytical solution and that of the numerical method. The results of the proposed method agree with the experimental and numerical results.     

Dynamics of cable truss via polynomial shape functions

A model for the in-plane dynamic behaviour of a biconcave cable structure, subject to large static deformations and potentially slack harnesses is proposed, based on polynomial shape functions, in line with the classical Ritz method. The model provides a semi-analytical approach to the calculation of natural frequencies and modal shapes of the structure. The proposed formulation leads to an eigenvalue problem, based on a reduced number of degrees of freedom compared with equivalent FEM solutions, providing the basis for fast and accurate sensitivity analysis. The behaviour of the deformed structure is analysed in detail to understand the non-linear effects of non-symmetric mass and load distribution and slack harnesses on natural frequencies and corresponding modal shapes. Results confirm the relevance of the non-linear effects, due to the statically loaded configuration, on the linear vibrations of the structure, in particular evidencing the influence of the slackening of harnesses on modal shapes. Results are compared to analytical models, where available (single sagged cable), and to FEM solutions (for cable trusses with non-uniform mass and load distribution and potentially slack harnesses), providing good agreement.

     

Dynamic response of a multi-span Timoshenko beam with internal and external flexible constraints subject to a moving mass

An analytical transfer matrix method is presented to determine the effect of intermediate flexible constraints on the dynamic behavior of a multi-span beam subject to a moving mass. By using the Timoshenko beam theory on separate beams and applying the compatibility requirements on each constraint point, the relationships between every two adjacent spans can be obtained. By using a transfer matrix method, eigensolutions of the entire system can be determined. The forced responses can then be calculated by the modal expansion theory using the determined eigenfunctions. Some numerical results are presented to show the effects of intermediate constraints and locations on the dynamic response of the multi-span beams. It will be seen that the general formulation developed here can cover a large array of problems such as cracked or intermediately constrained beams.
