Abstract:Methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) are often challenged by changing environmental and operational conditions (EOC). This paper presents a novel experimental testing field specifically designed for studying the effects of EOC on black box vibration‐based output‐only SHM methods. The experimental testing field consists of two identical mechanical structures that are exposed to mass and stiffness perturbations: one in a controllable laboratory setup and one under the influence of varying EOC in a field… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
