Abstract/Summary A vibration-based technique is employed to evaluate the structural integrity using mode coupling property. The methodology is first demonstrated on a single hollow section beam by analytical simulation and experimental validation. A welded test rig with a fatigue crack is then investigated by applying this technique. The test rig consists of chord members cross-connected by smaller branches. The fatigue crack is generated by a reciprocating mechanism. The proposed approach discriminates the cracked member through the emergence of coupled mode that is observable on FRF plots. The test results of the structure under intact and cracked states are presented. It is suggested that this method has the potential to detect cracks in welded structures.
