Abstract

Damage detection and localization algorithms play a key role in any structural health monitoring system because the identification of damage in the underlying structure is the most important goal of such a system. This paper presents a novel decentralized structural damage detection and localization method using the Wiener filter. Identification of damage is carried out in each sensor independently and localization is carried out by pairing off the responses of neighbouring sensors. Verification of the accuracy of this method was done using response data from a series of tests carried out on a reinforced concrete structure. The method has shown promising results in structural damage detection and localization.
