In this paper it is shown that natural frequency and antiresonant frequency shifts induced by a damage contain information on certain generalized Fourier coefficients of the stiffness variation caused by the damage itself in a vibrating beam. Under the assumption that the damaged beam is a perturbation of the undamaged one, a reconstruction procedure based on an iterative algorithm is proposed. The theoretical results are confirmed by a comparison with dynamic measurements on steel beams with localized damages, either under axial or bending vibration.

Abstract
In this paper it is shown that natural frequency and antiresonant frequency shifts induced by a damage contain information on certain generalized Fourier coefficients of the stiffness variation caused by the damage itself in a vibrating beam. Under the assumption that the damaged beam is a perturbation of the undamaged one, a reconstruction procedure based on an iterative algorithm is proposed. The theoretical results are confirmed by a comparison with dynamic measurements on steel beams with localized damages, either under axial or bending vibration.File in questo prodotto:
