Presented is a method to predict strain responses from displacement measurements on a mechanical structure. The method consists of forming a transformation matrix, which is calculated from displacement and strain modal matrices. The modal matrices can be obtained by either finite element analysis or modal testing. One disadvantage of the method is that it requires displacements on all measuring points be measured simultaneously. The strain prediction method is applied to a simple simulated system.

A strain modal testing method has been applied to a cantilever beam to investigate the characteristics of the method. By applying the method to an analytical and an experimental system, it was shown that accurate modal parameters can be estimated from strain frequency response functions using a current modal parameter extraction algorithm. The modal parameters estimated by the method are more accurate than those by the conventional method which uses accelerometers when the tested system is of light weight. The method can be used to predict strain responses and excitation forces for given excitation forces and responses, respectively. Cracks on a structure can be detected by measuring strian FRFs and comparing them with the original ones.

The strain response for a given excitation force and the force which causes the response can be predicted using the measured strain FRFS.

The objective of this study is to improve the accuracy of damage detection using natural frequency and modal strain energy. The following approaches are used to achieve the goal. First, modal strain energy is introduced and newly GA-based damage detection technique using natural frequency and modal strain energy is proposed. Next, to verify efficiency of the proposed technique, damage scenarios for free-free beams are designed and the vibration modal tests as damage cases are conducted. Finally, feasibility of proposed technique is verified in comparison with a GA-based damage detection technique using natural frequency and mode shape.

Structural damage detection, damage localization and severity estimation of jacket platforms, based on calculating modal strain energy is presented in this paper. In the structure, damage often causes a loss of stiffness in some elements, so modal parameters; mode shapes and natural frequencies, in the damaged structure are different from the undamaged state. Geometrical location of damage is detected by computing modal strain energy change ratio (MSECR) for each structural element, which elements with higher MSECR are suspected to be damaged. For each suspected damaged element, by computing cross-modal strain energy (CMSE), damage severity as the stiffness reduction factor -that represented the ratios between the element stiffness changes to the undamaged element stiffness- is estimated. Numerical studies are demonstrated for a three dimensional, single bay, four stories frame of the existing jacket platform, based on the synthetic data that generated from finite element model. It is observed that this method can be used for damage detection of this kind of structures.

모달실험 기법의 강부재 손상발견 적용성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 단경간 및 2경간 강재보에 손상을 모사한 단계적인 절단을 가하면서 모달실험을 반복하고, 손상 정도에 따른 모달 파라미터의 변화를 관찰하였으며, 실험 결과를 검증할 목적으로 수치해석을 병행하였다. 고려한 모달 파라미터는 고유진동수(Frequency), 변위 모드형상(Displacement Mode Shape), 변형률 모드형상(Strain Mode Shape)이며, 이들 모달 파라미터를 구하기 위하여 가속도계와 변형률계를 사용한 모달실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 손상단계에서 손상에 의한 변위 모드형상과 변형률 모드형상의 변화를 위치에 대해 정량적으로 나타내기 위하여, CoMAC과 Modal Vector Error를 사용하였다. 고유진동수는 손상의 정도가 심해짐에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 손상의 위치를 발견하는 데에 가장 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 것은 변형률 모드형상이었다.

A modeling method for the modal analysis of cantilever plates undergoing in-plane translational acceleration is presented in this paper. Cartesian deformation variables are employed to derive the equations of motion and the resulting equations are transformed into dimensionless forms. To obtain the modal equation from the equations of motion, the in-plane equilibrium strain measures are substituted into the strain energy expression based on Von Karman strain measures. The effects of two dimensionless parameters (related to acceleration and aspect ratio) on the modal characteristics of accelerated plates are investigated through numerical studies.

The types of responses which are generally measured in the modal testing are displacement, velocity or acceleration. In strain modal testing, however, strain responses subject to excitation forces are measured. In this paper, the characteristics of strain modal testing are investigated experimentally. Investigated are the effects of frequency range, excitation force level, and excitation signal on the quality of measured strain frequency response functions. It has been shown that a strain FRF at a point can be predicted from displacement FRFs and strain FRFs at other points.

This study deals with damage detection in beam structure by using modal strain energy-based technique with three different sensor types: accelerometer, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric sensor and electrical strain gage. First, the use of direct piezoelectric effect of PZT sensor for dynamic strain response are presented. Next, a modal strain energy-based damage detection method is outlined. For validation, forced vibration tests are carried out on lab-scale aluminum cantilever beam. The dynamic responses are measured for several damage scenarios. Based on damage localization results, the performance of three different sensor types is evaluated.
