An important property of wavelet multiresolution analysis is the capability to represent functions in a dynamic multiscale manner, so the solution in the wavelet domain enables a hierarchical approximation to the exact solution. The typical problem that arises when using Daubechies wavelets in numerical analysis, especially in finite element analysis, is how to calculate the connection coefficients, an integral of products of wavelet scaling functions or derivative operators associated with these. The method to calculate multiscale connection coefficients for stiffness matrices and load vectors is presented for the first time. And the algorithm of multiscale lifting computation is developed. The numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of such a method.

The method of constructing any scale wavelet finite element (WFE) based on the one-dimensional or two-dimensional Daubechies scaling functions was presented, and the corresponding WFE adaptive lifting algorithm was given. In order to obtain the nested increasing approximate subspaces of multiscale finite element, the Daubechies scaling functions with the properties of multi-resolution analysis were employed as the finite element interpolating functions. Thus, the WFE could adaptively mesh the singularity domain caused by local cracks, which resulted in better approximate solutions than the traditional finite element methods. The calculations of natural frequencies of cracked beam were used to check the accuracy of given methods. In addition, the results of cracked cantilever beam and engineering application were satisfied. So, the current methods can provide effective tools in the numerical modeling of the fault prognosis of incipient crack.

Based on two-dimensional tensor product B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI), a class of C0 type plate elements is constructed to solve plane elastomechanics and moderately thick plate problems. Instead of traditional polynomial interpolation, the scaling functions of two-dimensional tensor product BSWI are employed to form the shape functions and construct BSWI elements. Unlike the process of direct wavelets adding in the previous work, the elemental displacement field represented by the coefficients of wavelets expansions is transformed into edges and internal modes via the constructed transformation matrix in this paper. The method combines the versatility of the conventional finite element method (FEM) with the accuracy of B-spline functions approximation and various basis functions for structural analysis. Some numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the proposed method and the numerical results presented are in good agreement with the closed-form or traditional FEM solutions

In this paper we present an experimental investigation of the identification of crack location and size. By providing the first three natural frequencies through vibration measurements, curves of crack equivalent stiffness versus crack location are plotted, and the intersection of the three curves predicts the crack location and size. In the experiments, the cracked specimens were made using a wire-cut electrical discharge machine, and the cantilever beams were excited next to the free end by means of an impulse force hammer. In order to obtain the accurate natural frequencies from the transient signal measured, the method of zoom fast Fourier transform is adopted to improve frequency resolution. From experimental results, it is observed that the identification errors of crack location and size are less than 2% and 4%, respectively. The effectiveness of crack identification through vibration measurements is verified.
