Abstract

This paper outlines various vibration-based methods for detecting and locating damage in mechanical and civil structural systems. The basic premises of these methods are that any changes in physical characteristics (mass and stiffness) of the structure will induce detectable changes in the modal properties of the structure (natural frequency, mode shape and damping). A comparative study of eight extensively used damage identification methods is done on a simulated simply supported beam to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness. The outcomes of various methods are compared in terms of damage detection and localization under single and multiple damage scenarios.
