The topic of structural damage identification is-for good reasons-of topical concern in structural dynamics. Indeed the theme of the 1997 International Modal Analysis Conference (IMAC) is structural damage assessment. The majority of research studies attribute the basic ideas to Cawley and Adams [1]

β¦ Synopsis
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 localization and severity estimation by eliminating erratic assumptions and limits in the existing algorithms. Next, the damage prediction accuracy is numerically assessed for each algorithm when applied to a two-span continuous beam for which pre-and post-damage modal parameters are available for only a few modes of vibration. Compared to the existing damage detection algorithms, the new algorithm improved the accuracy of damage localization and severity estimation results in the test beam.

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
This paper presents results of modal identification and damage detection on the Steel-Quake structure using the autoregressive moving average vector and data-driven stochastic subspace methods. The methods directly work with the recorded time signals and allow to analyse linear systems where only th
