Abstract

A method based on the square difference of elemental modal strain was proposed to determine the damage location and damage degree. The square difference of elemental modal strain was expressed damage before and after. Simulation results show that: this method is effective to locate the single, multiple damages and light, severe damage with low-order modal information. Damage degrees can be initially determined by the values of the square difference of damaged-element modal strain. Furthermore, the result also shows that this method can accurately identify the damage location of plane truss structures with noise.
