“…[1][2][3] Generally, the existing damage detection approaches can be clarified into two major categories, that is, the dynamic detection methods and the static detection methods. Significant efforts have already been devoted to developing dynamic detection methods using various vibration characteristics, such as natural frequencies, [4][5][6] mode shapes, [7][8][9][10][11] modal flexibility, [12][13][14][15] curvature, 11,16 modal strain energy, [17][18][19] and moving load responses. [20][21][22] Radzien´ski et al 10 defined new damage indicators based on the change in natural frequencies and any mode shape (measured or modeled) for beam-like structures.…”
