RESUMO

This work explores the use of Component Mode Synthesis methods (CMS), Minimum Rank Perturbation Theory (MRPT), and Ritz Realization AIgorithm (RRA) as a structural damage detection tooI. The CMS consists in to modeling individual components of a structure separately and then to couple them to form an assembled system. CMS methods can be generalized to allow the use of other vectors, like Ritz vectors, rather than normal modes. The Ritz vectors are obtained from recurrence relations, and represent a suitable basis vectors as an alternative to component vibration modes. MRPT is a model-based damage detection method, which utilizes the fact that discrete damage is manifested in a structural finite element model (FEM) as a low rank perturbation to the structural property matrices. RRA converts the discrete time system matrices identified by Eigensystem Realization AIgorithm (ERA) to continuous time system matrices, from which one can extract the experimental Ritz vectors used to complement the matrix of dynamic residual forces in the MRPT formulation. With the coupled healthy model and the measured damaged model, the MRPT with RRA is used to detect the damage location and his extent, or at least the component that contains the damage. Different substructure modeling assumptions on damage detectability are explored using numerical examples. In particular a beam FEM of the international space station structure is implemented and the effects of different localized component damages are investigated
