Abstract

This paper explores crack diagnosis in I-section beams using vibration analysis techniques. Structural health monitoring is crucial for ensuring the integrity and safety of engineering structures. Vibration-based methods have emerged as effective tools for detecting and characterizing defects like cracks. The study focuses on the development of a reliable diagnostic approach specifically tailored for I-section beams. Experimental modal analysis is employed to extract modal parameters, and changes in these parameters due to crack presence are analyzed. Various crack scenarios are simulated, and the effectiveness of vibration-based crack detection is evaluated. The results demonstrate the potential of vibration techniques in accurately identifying and assessing cracks in I-section beams, thereby contributing to enhanced structural health monitoring practices. The findings underscore the importance of proactive maintenance strategies based on advanced diagnostic tools for ensuring the longevity and safety of critical infrastructure.
