Description
Summary:Focus has been made to give an overview of various methodologies used in fault diagnosis and condition monitoring. A crack in vibrating structures can lead to premature failure if it is not detected in time. Researchers have been working on the dynamics of cracked structures for decades to be able to monitor a structure and diagnose fault at the earliest possible stage. An effort has been made in the current paper to understand different techniques and methodologies for fault diagnosis and condition monitoring of damaged structures subjected to varied dynamic loading. The methods used are classical, wavelet transform, and finite element methods, artificial intelligence methods, and numerical and experimental methods. Using classical methods, engineers are able to predict faults. But using artificial intelligence techniques, it is observed that the forecasting time for fault diagnosis improves a lot in comparison to other methodologies.
