In this paper, a newly derived algorithm to predict locations and severities of damage in structures using changes in modal characteristics is presented. First, two existing algorithms of damage detection are reviewed and the new algorithm is formulated in order to improve the accuracy of damage loc

โฆ Synopsis
Linear approximations of the behaviour of structures are often flawed due to the presence of non-linearities. These can strongly influence the dynamic response; it is essential to detect and identify them. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method to identify the NARMAX on the modal base. By using the modal co-ordinates to express the NARMAX we will be able to reduce the number of parameters to identify and thus to make possible its use in a multi-dimensional mechanical context. Moreover, the modal co-ordinates allow us to minimize the non-linearities localization problem. A numerical test will be carried out to illustrate the properties and advantages of this procedure.
