Investigation of vibrational power flow patterns in damaged plate structures for damage localisation

ABSTRACT

The FEM is applied to determine plate vibration responses, which will then be used in vibrational power flow calculations. The general equation of motion of a structure excited by an external force using in FEM is written as (Petyt 1990).
