Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 133 N°10 (Octobre 2007) . - pp.1043–1049 Titre : Experimental verification of the flexibility-based damage locating vector method Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Y. Gao, Auteur ; B.F Spencer, Auteur ; Dionisio Bernal, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.1043–1049 Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Experimentation  Damage  Flexibility  Structural  dynamics  Trusse Résumé : In recent years, numerous approaches have been proposed for detecting damage in structures, in which the flexibility-based damage locating vector (DLV) method is one of the promising techniques. By computing a set of load vectors from the change of the flexibility matrix before and after damage and then applying them as static forces to the undamaged analytical model for static computation, the DLV method is able to locate damage in structures. The main purpose of this paper is to experimentally verify this method. Following a brief introduction and discussion of the motivation for the flexibility-based method, an overview of the DLV method and construction of the flexibility matrix from limited sensor information is presented. The DLV method is then experimentally verified employing a 5.6 m (18 ft)-long three-dimensional truss structure. To simulate damage in the structure, the original truss member is replaced by one with reduced stiffness. Experimental results show that the DLV method can successfully detect the damage using a limited number of sensors and modes.
