✦ Synopsis


Processing sensor data, from multiple non-simultaneously recorded measurement set-ups, for structural analysis is often achieved by merging identi"cation results obtained from records corresponding to di!erent sensor pools. Since pole matching and eigenvector gluing might not be consistent in some cases, the question arises to merge the data "rst and then process them globally. Subspace identi"cation algorithms have proven e$cient for performing output-only modal analysis of mechanical systems subject to uncontrolled, unmeasured, and non-stationary excitation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate as to how subspace-based output-only modal analysis algorithms can be adapted to handle the multi-patch measurements set-up. Numerical results, obtained on both laboratory and real application examples, are reported, which show the relevance and usefulness of the proposed algorithm.
