Damage Detection of Ship Structures Using Wavelet Transformation

웨이블렛 변환 기법을 이용한 선체 구조의 결함진단

The early damage detection of large structures is very important to prevent the disaster due to its global failure. In this paper, a damage detection method of the beam-analogy structure based on the wavelet transformation of mode shape is presented. This can effectively detect the singularity of mode shape caused to the inconsistency of bending moment and shear force at the damaged part using the discrete wavelet and its inverse transforms. To investigate the validity and the applicability of the presented damage detection method, numerical simulation and experiment are carried out for the idealized beam and the real ship structures.
