Abstract:Health monitoring of structures operating in ambient environments is performed through operational modal analysis, where the identified modal parameters, such as resonant frequencies, damping ratios and operation deflection shapes, characterize the state of structural integrity. The current study shows that, first, time-frequency methods, such as continuous wavelet transform, can be used to identify these parameters and may even provide a large amount of such data, increasing the reliability of structural heal… Show more
