Abstract
The need for monitoring the dynamic characteristics of large structural systems for purposes of assessing the potential degradation of structural properties has been established. This paper develops a theory for assessing the occurrence, location, and extent of potential damage utilizing on-orbit response measurements. Feasibility of the method is demonstrated using a simple structural system as an example.
