Abstract

Structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have been studied for several years. An effective approach for SHM is to choose the parameters that are sensitive to the damage occurring in the structure but not sensitive to operational or environmental damages. This paper deals with a comparative study among the different vibration-based damage detection methods: fundamental modal examination, local diagnostic method, non-probabilistic methodology and the time series method. All these strategies contemplate different parameters of a structure to recognize damage. Out of the study made, time series analysis proves to more successfully in damage identification than the rest of the methods.
