Based on natural frequency and static displacement, the study defines and considers damage criteria such as 1D and 2D single and fusion load cases. To overcome the lack of sufficient information on damage identification in large-scale structures, the authors consider multiple responses to and objective descriptions of uncertainties and various criteria.According to the finite element model and the structural responses described and measured, the fusion methods and damage criteria treat uncertainty as non-probability intervals. As long as we know the bounds of uncertain parameters, the intervals of the elemental stiffness parameters in undamaged and damaged models can be obtained by interval technology. Two numerical examples—a damage-criteria numerical example and a 5-span with 25-bar truss structure in a space solar power station—are proposed. Both examples indicate the veracity of the interval method.展开更多

Equivalent element concept is introduced at the beginning. In order to relate the damage detectability by means of mid-span dlsplacement measurement with the damage-eaused local stiffness change, a novel index termed as symmetrical mid-span displacement difference index （SMDDI） is proposed. The proposed method based on SMDDI is sensitive to tiny damage and comparatively small quantities of measurements are required during the application process. Another significant attraction of this method is putting aside the knowledge a-priori of the intact state. An example using simulated data has been conducted to examine the suitability of this method and assess its comparative advantages over the previous modal method.展开更多
