Vibration tests in CFRP plates for damage detection via non-parametric signal analysis Moreno García, Pablo Castro Rodríguez, Enrique Romo Melo, Liliana Minelly Gallego Molina, Antolino Roldán Aranda, Andrés María CFRP plates SHM Damage detection In this paper, two procedures for damage detection in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates are shown. One is based on the use of statistical frequency series to detect the presence of damage. This method was tested experimentally on a CFRP plate with induced damage. The other one is a procedure based on Ritz method and wavelet transform that was applied to the numerical vibration modes of a damaged CFRP plate. The former method can also be used experimentally, even if the material engineering constants are unknown. 2024-10-29T10:35:33Z 2024-10-29T10:35:33Z 2012 journal article Moreno-García, P., Castro, E., Romo-Melo, L., Gallego, A., Roldán, A., Vibration Tests in CFRP Plates for Damage Detection via Non-Parametric Signal Analysis, Shock and Vibration, 19, 385835, 9 pages, 2012. https://doi.org/10.3233/SAV-2012-0694 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/96443 10.3233/SAV-2012-0694 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access Atribución 4.0 Internacional Wiley-Blackwell Verlag GmbH
