Vibrations are the root cause of many mechanical and civil structure failures. Dynamic
characteristics of a structure must be extracted to better understand structural vibrational …

Comprehensively covers the basic principles and practice of Operational Modal Analysis
(OMA). Covers all important aspects that are needed to understand why OMA is a practical …

This paper presents a new damage detection approach for cantilever beam-type structures
using the damage-induced inter-storey deflection (DIID) estimated by modal flexibility matrix …

Localization of damage from changes in flexibility in structures identified from operational or
ambient vibration has long been hindered by the fact that the flexibility cannot be extracted …

Monitoring of complex structures to provide real‐time safety and reliability information
regarding the structure poses significant technical challenges. To detect damage in large …

Mode shape identification is a crucial task in the field of bridge health monitoring. This paper
proposes a mass‐normalized mode shape identification method for bridge structures on the …

The literature about the mass associated with a certain mode, usually denoted as the modal
mass, is sparse. Moreover, the units of the modal mass depend on the technique which is …

This paper gives an overview of the main components of operational modal analysis (OMA)
and can serve as a tutorial for research oriented OMA applications. The paper gives a short …

This paper presents a new vibration-based damage detection method for beam-like
structures that uses the normalized uniform load surface (NULS) curvature obtained by …

To overcome the limitation of existing methods only identifying basic dynamic properties of
bridge structures, a moving vehicle strategy was proposed to identify more meaningful …
