Application for Automated Recognition of Damage Locations
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper present an application developed in Visual Basic, able to precisely indicate a damage location for known beam characteristics (in terms of geometry and mechanical properties) and the natural frequencies of some weak-axis transversal bending vibration modes. The application bases on the implementation of a cost function (namely the Minkowski distance) in an algorithm contrived by the authors. It is able to recognize the beam model proper to be used, function on its slenderness, and to identify the beam health state at the beginning of the monitoring process. Afterwards, based on comparison of the frequencies periodically acquired, the application signalizes the occurrence of damage and indicates its position along the beam. The reliability of the implemented algorithm is proved by numerous experiments.

On the Vibrations of a Mass Linked by Two Nonlinear Springs with Quadratic and Third Order Polynomial Characteristics
We study the equilibrium positions and their stability in the case of a mass linked by two nonlinear springs. These springs have polynomial characteristic of different orders; one of them is a quadratic one and the secon...
The Study of the Vibrations and Noises of a Stand with Planetary Mechanism used in the Power Sources Coupling
In this paper we present in the first stage the components of an experimental stand that couples a source of thermal energy and two sources of electric energy. The experimental determinations have as main goal the determ...
