MONITORING AND IDENTIFICATION OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGES

Abstract

This paper presents the investigation of structural damage identification methods based on results of numerical modeling and deformation monitoring. Solution of deformed body mechanics task by contradiction describing the structure mechanical condition according to its loading and deformation nature is proposed. Examples of damage prediction in beam and plate structures with initiated defects are presented. The received results provide the basis for the development of diagnostics algorithms.
