Abstract

Among those damage identification methods, the Wavelet Packet Energy Curvature Difference (WPECD) Method is an effective one. However, most of the existing methods rely on numerical simulation and are unverified via experiment, and very few of them have been applied to practice. In this paper, the validity of WPECD in structural damage identification is verified by a numerical example. A damage simulation experiment is taken on a real replaced girder at the Ziya River New Bridge in Cangzhou. Two damage cases are applied and the acceleration responses at the measuring points are obtained, based on which the damages are identified with the WPECD Method, and the influence of wavelet function and decomposition level is studied. The results show that the WPECD Method can identify structure damage efficiently and can be put into practice.
