Abstract
AbstractIt is well-known that damage in a structure is a local phenomenon. Based on measured vibration data from sensors, the detection of a local structural damage requires the finite-element formulation for the equations of motion, so that any change in stiffness in a structural element can be identified. However, the finite-element model (FEM) of a complex structure involves a large number of degrees of freedom (DOF), which requires a large number of sensors and involves a heavy computational effort for the identification of structural damages. To overcome such a challenge, we propose the application of a reduced-order model in conjunction with a recently proposed damage detection technique, referred to as the adaptive quadratic sum-square error with unknown inputs (AQSSE-UI). Experimental data for the shake table tests of a 1/3-scale six-story steel frame structure, in which damages of the joints were simulated by loosening the connection bolts, have been available recently. Based on these experimenta...
