In structural engineering, model updating is often used for non-destructive damage
assessment: by calibrating stiffness parameters of finite element models based on …

This report contains a review of the technical literature concerning the detection, location,
and characterization of structural damage via techniques that examine changes in …

Traditionally, damage identification techniques in bridges have focused on monitoring
changes to modal-based Damage Sensitive Features (DSFs) due to their direct relationship …

Increased awareness of the economic and social effects of aging, deterioration and extreme
events on civil infrastructure has been accompanied by recognition of the need for advanced …

A damage detection method is proposed for structural health monitoring under varying
environmental and operational conditions. The method is based on principal component …

This paper presents a practical and user-friendly finite element (FE) model updating
technique for real structures using ambient vibration test results. The first case study of a …

Over the past 30 years detecting damage in a structure from changes in global dynamic
parameters has received considerable attention from the civil, aerospace and mechanical …

A technique to localize damage in structures that can be treated as linear in the pre-and
postdamage states is presented. Central to the approach is the computation of a set of …

A number of researchers have proposed using vibrational behavior to monitor structures.
When significant damage occurs, there are changes in the structural stiffness. This causes …
