| Summary: | Expected lives of mechanical parts and structures depend upon the environmental conditions, their dynamic behaviours and the task-oriented spectra of different loadings. This paper exploits contactless full-field <i>mobilities</i>, estimated by Scanner Laser Doppler Vibrometry (SLDV), in the real manufacturing, assembling and loading conditions of the thin plate tested, whose structural dynamics can be described in broad frequency bands, with no distorting inertia of sensors and no numerical models. The paper derives the <i>mobilities</i> into full-field strain Frequency Response Functions (FRFs), which map, by selecting the proper <i>complex-valued</i> broad frequency band excitation spectrum, the surface strains. From the latter, by means of the constitutive model, dynamic stress distributions are computed, to be exploited in fatigue spectral methods to map the expected life of the component, according to the selected tasks’ spectra and the excitation locations. The results of this experiment-based approach are thoroughly commented in sight of non-destructive-testing, damage and failure prognosis, Structural Health Monitoring, manufacturing and maintenance actions. |
