Abstract
In the field of nondestructive evaluation and damage detection, there is continued interest in the utilization of vibrational techniques. Structural damage will result in permanent changes in the distribution of structural stiffness. These changes may be detected through structural monitoring. Because of the direct relationship of stiffness, mass, and damping of a multi-degree-of-freedom system to the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping values, many studies have been directed at using these dynamic properties for the purpose of structural health monitoring. The use of vibrational monitoring is a developing field of structural analysis and is capable of assisting in both detecting and locating structural damage. Vibrational data have been shown to be most useful when used in conjunction with other monitoring systems if a remote and robust damage detection scheme is desired. This paper includes a literature review that summarizes the basic approaches to vibrational monitoring, suggested guid...Keywords
