A nondestructive evaluation procedure is presented for identifying a crack in a structure using modal test data. The structure is discretixed into a set of elements and the crack is assumed to be located within one of the elements. Measured vibration frequencies and mode shapes are used in an identi

This paper describes a procedure for detecting structural damage based on a microgenetic algorithm using incomplete and noisy modal test data. As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally small when compared with the degrees of freedom of the finite element model of the structure,
Localized damage to a structure affects its dynamic properties, and much work has been undertaken investigating the variation of natural frequencies with damage. However, use of mode shape data has seen much less effort. This paper develops and presents a technique for identifying the location of st
