Wavelet detection of cracks in fiber-reinforced composite building structures

Abstract

The aim of this work was to numerically analyze the use of Gabor and Moret wavelets for spatial crack detection in building beams made of composite material with reinforced fibers of different directions. It is indicated that the continuous wavelet transform method is the most effective for detecting damage in building structures. The propagation of shock waves in cantilever beams was modeled using impact mechanical loads.
