Damage localization and quantification of composite beam structures using residual force and optimization

Résumé

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and impact monitoring of composite structures have become important research topics in the recent year. In this research, a non-destructive vibration-based damage detection method is formulated using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and compared with classical method. The robustness and reliability of the capability to locate and to estimate the severity of damage, based on changes in dynamic characteristics of a structure, is investigated. The objective function for the damage identification problem is established by using the residual force method (FRM). Numerical experiments using finite element analysis are performed on composite beams with different damage scenarios in order to clarify the validity of the developed technique. The comparison between estimated and real damage illustrates the efficiency of the algorithm in damage detection. The results show that the present approach is correct and efficient for detecting structural local damages in composite beam structures.
