Multi-site damage precise localization via the random vibration functional model based method: Formulation & concept validation

Abstract The postulation and experimental validation of a random vibration data based Functional Model Based Method (FMBM) for multi-site damage localization, involving the determination of the number of damage locations and interval estimation of their coordinates, in presented. The method is based on Functional Models (FMs), along with proper statistical decision making and estimation techniques, and is capable of working with a limited number of random vibration signals under normal operating conditions. Two distinct versions of the method are introduced: A Forward or Multiple Model version which is based on multiple Functional Models, and a Backward or Single Model version based on a single counterpart. Both versions are experimentally validated and compared via hundreds of single- and double-site damage scenarios on the wing of a lab-scale aircraft skeleton structure, while a sensitivity analysis examining performance degradation for reduced numbers of training vibration signals is also undertaken. The results indicate high effectiveness in both determining the number of damage sites and estimating their precise coordinates along with their associated uncertainty.
