Structural damage detection from vibration
Detect and locate damage in a test structure from its vibration response.
The brief
Bridges and buildings change how they shake when something inside weakens. Use accelerometer recordings from a laboratory frame with simulated damage (or vibration you simulate yourself) to find which natural frequencies and mode shapes change, and build a method to detect damage and say where it is. Good looks like: natural frequencies found from the data, damage detected in a held-out set, and a clear statement of what the method cannot see.
What you will build
- Load or simulate recordings for healthy and damaged states
- Find natural frequencies and mode shapes
- Compare healthy and damaged states
- Build a damage detector and locator
- Test on held-out damage cases
- Explain results for a bridge engineer
