This study introduces numerical tests for continuity to detect structural damage. Damage disrupts synchronization in sensor data, indicating structural integrity loss.

Area of Science:

  • Structural Health Monitoring
  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Continuity Testing

Background:

  • Detecting structural damage is crucial for safety and maintenance.
  • Traditional methods may not capture subtle changes indicative of damage.
  • Complex systems exhibit nonlinear dynamics that can be altered by damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply novel numerical tests for detecting structural damage.
  • To investigate the impact of damage on the dynamic response of structures.
  • To establish a method for quantifying structural integrity loss using continuity tests.

Main Methods:

  • Development of numerical tests for Holder continuity and general continuity.
  • Application to a damaged thin metal plate subjected to chaotic excitation.

  • Reconstruction of phase space attractors and comparison using geometric tests.

    • Main Results:

    • Structural damage alters the filtering properties and phase space trajectories of the response.
    • Loss of synchronization between sensor responses is observed with increasing damage.
    • The developed continuity tests effectively distinguish between damaged and undamaged states.

    Conclusions:

    • Numerical continuity tests are effective tools for structural damage detection.
    • Synchronization analysis of multivariate time series can reveal structural integrity issues.
    • This approach offers a sensitive method for assessing damage in engineering structures.
