Abstract
A new method is proposed to identify structural damages based on the power spectral density sensitivity analysis. The responses of the structure under stationary and random excitations are obtained using pseudo excitation method, and then the sensitivities of power spectral density with respect to the structural damage parameters are obtained similarly. Finite element model updating method is adopted to identify the structural damages. A numerical example of a shearing structure demonstrates the satisfactory results obtained from the present method.
