Abstract
In this paper two methods for damage localization, the IDDM (Interpolation Damage Detecting Method), and the Modal Shape Curvature Method (MSCM) are applied to the same experimental case of a cantilever aluminum beam for which several different damage scenarios have been artificially reproduced in laboratory. IDDM is a new method recently proposed in literature which is on the definition of a damage-sensitive feature in terms of the accuracy of a spline function interpolating the Operational Displacement Shapes of the structure. This paper will present a comparison between the two methods on experimental data from a laboratory bench structure. Results show that, due to the small changes of the damage features induced by damage, both methods require a high-quality data set to provide a reliable damage localization even if the number of false alarms is slightly lower if the IDDM is applied.
