Vibration Response-Based Damage Detection

Abstract This chapter aimed to present different data driven Vibration-Based Methods (VBMs) for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). family of methods, widely used engineering applications, several advantages damage identification applications. First, VBMs provide continuous information on the health state structure at a global level without need access damaged elements and know their location. Furthermore, can be identified using dynamic response measured by sensors non-necessarily located in proximity any prior knowledge about By principle, identify related changes properties structures, such as stiffness variations due modifications connections between structural elements, or geometric material properties. A classification was presented this chapter. case studies were demonstrate potential these methods.
