Abstract:The Continuous Wavelet Transform and Lipschitz exponent perform well in detecting signal singularity. With the bridge damage modeled as cracks, the damage identification method based on wavelet transform and Lipschitz exponent is proposed. With the Wavelet Transform is applied to structural displacement mode, the damage can be located by the contour plot and the locus of modulus maximum of wavelet coefficients. The range of Lipschitz exponent of cracked beam is derived theoretically. Numerical examples show that this method can identify the damage effectively. Furthermore, some influence factors such as Euler and Timoshenko beam, different damage extents, multiple damage, sparse measure points and test noise are studied.
