Introduction
Definitions
- Structural damage:
-
Changes in a structural system that adversely affect its performance
- System identification:
-
Process of extracting the properties (often dynamic) of a system from measured output or input-output data
- Damage identification:
-
Process of detecting, localizing, and quantifying damage in a system
- Structural health monitoring:
-
Process of global damage identification in a structural system
- Nondestructive evaluation:
-
Process of local damage identification in a structural system
Major structural failures in recent years have brought the public’s attention to the urgent need for improved infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. In their latest report card for America’s infrastructure (American Society of Civil Engineers 2009), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) described an infrastructure that is poorly...
