Structural analysis of two-dimensional statically indeterminate structure problem with crack by transfer matrix method

Abstract

A digital twin technique is regarded as the advanced maintenance technology for the aged facilities such as power plant, although it includes some difficulty for the practical usage. In this study, fundamental formulation for transfer matrix method (TMM) is conducted for the cracked structural problem as the first step to realize this technique. Furthermore, the inverse scheme based upon TMM theory formulated here is developed to identify crack depth and position.
