This work aims at developing an analytical tool for damage detection to reduce maintenance costs. Daubechies wavelets are used in combination with spectral element method in order to study the dynamic response of an undamaged and damaged rod. Studies are conducted for variation of parameters such as damage intensity and size and their identification. © 2012 AIAA.
