Damage Characterization of the IASC-ASCE Structural Health Monitoring Benchmark Structure by Transfer Function Pole Migration
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a novel approach to the characterization of structural damage in civil structures is presented. Structural damage often results in subtle changes to structural stiffness and damping properties that are manifested by changes in the location of transfer function characteristic equation roots (poles) upon the complex plane. Using structural response time-history data collected from an instrumented structure, transfer function poles can be estimated using traditional system identification methods. Comparing the location of poles corresponding to the structure in an unknown structural state to those of the undamaged structure, damage can be accurately identified. The IASC-ASCE structural health monitoring benchmark structure is used in this study to illustrate the merits of the transfer function pole migration approach to damage detection in civil structures.
