A Regularized System Identification Scheme for Detecting Cracks
in Finite Bodies Using Boundary Parameterization
C.J. Park, H.S. Lee
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a system identification scheme to detect internal cracks in finite bodies using the boundary parameterization method. The unknown boundaries of cracks are represented by a set of line segments defined by control nodes on the crack surface. The coordinates of the control nodes are determined by a system identification scheme based on the minimization of least squared errors be-tween measured displacement on the exterior boundary of a finite body and calculated displacement by a boundary element model. To stabilize ill-posed properties of inverse problems, a regularization technique is introduced. The squared length of the unknown boundary curve is employed as a regu-larization function, and a gradient-controlled regularization factor determination scheme is proposed. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated by two numerical examples.
