Dynamic Characteristics of the Plate with Structural Damages

구조손상을 갖는 평판의 동적특성

Though there have been many researches to investigate the relationship between the damage location, damage size and the changes in eigenparameters, there have been few studies on the small-sized damages. Thus, this paper considers the plate with small local damages. The equation of motion for damaged plate is derived in terms of the damage distribution function and then the effects of small damages on the dynamic characteristics of plate are investigated. It is observed that the damage-induced modal coupling and a sufficient number of vibration modes should be considered especially for small damage detections.
