Detecting structural steel damaged using non destructive testing
Abstract
This project investigates the methods to identify and further analyze the capability of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) in detecting the damage and undamaged of material structure.
The Modal Analysis methods used to determine early detection of structural steel damage.
The damaged and undamaged of structural steel are used to correlate between the wave
transmissibility. In this experiment, the steel plates with the different thickness are used as
the specimens and LMS Test Xpress software is utilized to analyze the signal capture.
Impact hammer and LMS SCADAS Mobile will be use as Data Acquisition system in this
experiment. The result of the experiment indicates that the changes in dynamic
characteristics such as natural frequencies are capable to distinguish the undamaged and
damaged of structural steel plate.
