Abstract
This study proposes a structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on multi-scale entropy (MSE) and multi-scale cross-sample entropy (MSCE). By measuring the ambient vibration signal from a structure, the damage condition can be rapidly evaluated via a MSE analysis. The damage location can then be detected by analyzing the signals of different floors under the same damage condition via a MSCE analysis. Moreover, a damage index is proposed to efficiently quantify the SHM process. A numerical simulation of a four-story steel structure is used to verify that the damage location and condition can be detected by the proposed SHM algorithm, and the location can be efficiently quantified by the damage index. Based on the results, the damage condition can be correctly assessed, and accuracy rates of 60% and 86% for the damage location can be achieved using the MSCE and damage index methods, respectively.
