Cantilever Aluminum Beams
Experimental damage detection results for four different scenarios are shown first, followed by various simulation results.
Scenario 1: Evenly-Distributed Damage Machined from the Top and the Bottom Surfaces of the Beam Test Specimen.
The aluminum beam test specimen shown in FIG. 12 is 45 cm long by 2.54 cm wide by 0.635 cm thick. It is divided into 40 elements (each element has a length of 1.125 cm). The beam has a section (from approximately 10 cm to 15 cm from the cantilevered end) of 5 cm long and 7.62E-4 m thick machined both from the top and the bottom surfaces of the beam. This corresponds to 56% of damage (or reduction of bending stiffness EI) along the length of five elements (from the 9th to the 13rd element). Using the changes of the first 2 to 5 measured natural frequencies, damage is detected within 7 elements using 2 or 5 measured frequencies (from the 7th to the 13rd element with 5 measured frequenci...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION
When the shape function of the pulses is represented by a half sine wave, i.e., y(t)=sin(π tΔ τ)[H(t)-H(t-Δ τ)](112)
where H() is the Heaviside function, we obtain by using (60), (64), and (103) E[X(j ω)]=-E(ψ1)λ πΔτ(1+ⅇ-jωΔτ)(ⅇ-jωT-1)j ω(π2-ω2Δτ2(113)E[S1(ω)]=2π2Δτ2[1+cos(ωΔτ)](ω2Δτ2-π2)2(T+Δτ)[λ TE (ψ12)-2λ2E2(ψ1)(cos ω T-1)ω2](114)E[S2(ω)]=λ E (ψ12)Δτ2{[-2T π4-2T cos(ω Δτ)π4+(4cos(ωΔτ)π4+π4)Δτ](ω2Δτ2-π2)3(T-Δτ)+[+(8sin(ωΔτ)ωπ2+2T cos(ωΔτ)ω2π2+2T π2ω2)Δτ2](ω2Δτ2-π2)3(T-Δτ)+[(ω4Δτ5-4cos(ωΔτ)ω2π2-2ω2π2)Δτ3](ω2Δτ2-π2)3(T-Δτ)}+8λ E2(ψ1)Δτ2(1-cos ω(T-Δτ))π2ω2(T-Δτ)(115)
Consider next the normalized shape function y(t) shown in FIG. 35 with unit maximum amplitude. It is obtained by averaging a series of normalized force pulses from impact tests on the four-bay space frame as shown in FIG. 10. There are 21 sample points in the shape function, which are connected...
