The traditional identification method of surface crack has some shortcomings such as detection equipment complex, high requirements for operator and not suitable for large-scale structure inspection, vibration method is applied to identify surface crack in steel rods in this paper, using the method of calculating modal analysis combined with time-frequency wavelet analysis. The research on damage identification is performed on steel rods with different deep crack. The research results show that the accurate damage location can be judged by wavelet modulus maximum and the quantitative analysis of single crack identification can be achieved by constructing mathematical expressions of a single crack damage degree and damage index Lipschitz index. The research would province some guidance for engineering applications.
