The response of linear dynamic structures can be decomposed into modal components, where each natural frequency is also represented by a corresponding mode shape and damping ratio. While vibration-fatigue-damage identification was recently expanded using modal decomposition, this research proposes a modal-decomposition-based thermoelastic damage identification method. With the proposed method, a thermal camera can be used to identify the damage intensity of a particular mode shape. The proposed method is presented using a randomly excited structure exposed to multiaxial loads. With this, the intensity of a particular fatigue source is clearly related to the underlying structural dynamics.

Abstract
The response of linear dynamic structures can be decomposed into modal components, where each natural frequency is also represented by a corresponding mode shape and damping ratio. While vibration-fatigue-damage identification was recently expanded using modal decomposition, this research proposes a modal-decomposition-based thermoelastic damage identification method. With the proposed method, a thermal camera can be used to identify the damage intensity of a particular mode shape. The proposed method is presented using a randomly excited structure exposed to multiaxial loads. With this, the intensity of a particular fatigue source is clearly related to the underlying structural dynamics.Pubblicazioni consigliate
