The first step in Structures Health Monitoring (SHM), are determining the location, intensity and type of damage in structures. Crack is a damage that often occurs in structural elements and may cause serious ruptures in the structure. One of the important approaches is the wavelet analysis of vibration modes structures. In this study, it has been performed the crack detection method in steel cantilever beam structure, using an optimized wavelet-based model. The wavelet analysis has been performed based on the higher orders of the structure's mode shapes. The results show that the proposed method is able to accurately detect all kinds of cracks, in which the cracks location are variable. In this study also, cracks with length of 20%, 10%, 5% and 2% of the beam's depth have been considered and one of the most prominent results is introducing a method for detecting robust and environmental noisy cracks. The proposed method is capable of accurately detecting crack in the cantilever beams in noisy conditions about 20 dB of SNR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
