Kurzfassung:
Wavelet analysis is applied to identify the time-variant dynamics of adaptive structures. The wavelet-based power spectrum of the structural response, wavelet-based frequency response function (FRF) and wavelet-based coherence are used to identify continuously and abruptly varying natural frequencies. A cantilever plate with surface-bonded macro fibre composite—which alters the structural stiffness—is used to demonstrate the application of the methods. The results show that the wavelet-based input–output characteristics—i.e. the FRF and coherence—can identify correctly the dynamics of the analysed time-variant system and reveal the varying natural frequency. The wavelet-based coherence can be used not only for the assessment of the quality of the wavelet-based FRF but also for the identification. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Redundancy rules: the continuous wavelet transform comes of age’.
