Strain modes identification using cross-correlation function of measured dynamic strain
Strain modes of structures reflect the distribution rule of dynamic strain and can be of service to structural health monitoring. This article presents a new method to estimate the strain modes of beam structures based on the measured dynamic strain. Since the cross-correlation matrix of the modal coordinates is a diagonal matrix, thus, the cross-correlation matrix of the measured dynamic strain is also a diagonal matrix, and the strain modes can be obtained to find the eigenvectors of the strain cross-correlation matrix. The strain modes of a simply support beam and a continuous beam subjected to various impulsive excitations are identified from the numerical simulations using the proposed method. The noise effect is also investigated in this article. The numerical results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the strain modes even with noise effect. Finally, the method is verified through the experiment of a simply supported beam under hammering excitation. The test results also show that the proposed method can estimate the strain modes of beam structures with a high accuracy.
