Abstract:In this paper, a new time-domain method for detecting structural local damage has been developed, which is based on the measured strain signals. The “pseudo strain energy density (PSED)” is defined and used to build two major damage indexes, the “average pseudo strain energy density” (APSED) and the “average pseudo strain energy density changing rate” (APSEDR). A probability and mathematical statistics technique is utilized to derive a standardized damage index. Afterwards, these indexes are used to establish … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
