| Popis: | Damage prognosis uses numerical and experimental responses to identify damage in structures or part of them, thus allowing the remaining structural life estimation at a high level of precision. Current methods focalize on crack identification; however, a complete methodology to estimate the remaining life of a cracked structure is less developed. A methodology is presented in this paper drawing on concepts such as wavelets transform, dynamic structures, and vibration signals for crack identification; and fracture mechanics and nonlinear optimization to obtain the remaining life. Finite element theory was applied to obtain its vibration modes. The crack was modeled as a flexural spring connected to the elements in the crack position and the crack identification was performed in the wavelet domain. Nonlinear optimization techniques and fracture mechanics concepts were used to estimate the remaining fatigue life. A numerical-experimental case study is solved to show the fundamentals of this methodology. |
