ABSTRACT
This paper presents an experimental study on the detection and localization of damage in a steel plate using vibration-based methods. Dynamic impulse tests were conducted on both undamaged and damaged plate to determine changes in modal parameters, such as eigenfrequencies and mode shapes. Several damage detection methods, including the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), Coordinate Modal Assurance Criterion (COMAC), Mode Shape Curvature (MSC), Mode Shape Curvature Square (MSCS), and Damage Index (DI), were applied. The results showed that while MAC and COMAC effectively detected damage, they did not provide information about the location. MSC and MSCS indices demonstrated improved damage localization, with the MSCS being particularly effective. The DI index provided the clearest and most accurate representation of the damage location. These findings highlight the potential of these methods for non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring.
