Sažetak
The paper presents two methods of crack detection in ship hulls. The methods are dedicated for structural health monitoring (SHM) of responsible welded joints. The system will be based on vibrodiagnostic - signals will be measured by piezoelectric accelerometers and/or fibre optic sensors. In SHM systems of welded joints of thin-walled structures, a vibrodiagnostic method is the most promising. Its most important advantage is that it is both effective and relatively low costly. There are two general methods of vibrodiagnostic signal analysis: the most frequently used are spectrum analysis and time waveform analysis. The spectrum analysis concerns changes of natural frequency. In marine exploitation conditions, the frequencies changes might be imperceptible. The first method presented in the article is based on the evaluation of the mean value distribution of the amplitude spectrums calculated with the time window method. Second proposed method was based on the determination of damping decrement in function of time. Due to the complexity of the responses run, the proposed method consisted of calculating the damping decrement using the response approximation with different functions. It has been shown that the changes analysis of damping decrement applied to welded plates enables the assessment of the quality associated with the weld. A calculation algorithm as well as and the exemplary results from the proposed methods used for some selected samples with different type of welds are included in the paper. The results of the tests show that the analysis based on proposed methods indicates that they differ significantly depending on the welds, indicating their quality and cracks that are associated with them.
