Damage detection from the variation of parameter matrices estimated by incomplete FRF data
Salam Rahmatalla, Hee-Chang Eun and Eun-Taik Lee

 
Abstract
    It is not easy to experimentally obtain the FRF (Frequency Response Function) matrix corresponding to a full set of DOFs (degrees of freedom) for a dynamic system. Utilizing FRF data measured at specific positions, with DOFs less than that of the system, as constraints to describe a damaged system, this study identifies parameter matrices such as mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the system, and provides a damage identification method from their variations. The proposed parameter identification method is compared to Lee and Kim
 
Key Words
    frequency response function; dynamic stiffness matrix; receptance; damping matrix; minimization.
