A procedure to estimate the Minimum Observable Damage in truss structures using vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring systems Milad Jahangiri, Antonio Palermo, Soroosh Kamali, Mohammad Ali Hadianfard, Alessandro Marzani Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 2023 In this work, we propose a procedure to estimate the Minimum Observable Damage (MOD) by a vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. The MOD is defined as the smallest damage size that can be detected by an SHM system with given Probability of Detection (POD) and Probability of False Alarm (PFA). To this purpose, the MOD is computed by exploiting the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, once a damage index (DI) built on monitoring data/features is defined. In particular, the MOD is defined as the damage intensity corresponding to an area under the ROC curve of 95%. The proposed idea is discussed by utilizing pseudo-experimental data generated via numerical simulations for undamaged and damaged structures. In the developed simulations, environmental uncertainties and measurement noises are considered. As case studies, we consider truss structures and use modal data, namely frequencies of vibrations and mode shapes, to build the DIs. Using the dataset of DIs, the ROC methodology is exploited to establish the probability of detecting certain damage over the probability of false alarms. For a given DI, results are provided in terms of MOD for each structural element of the truss structure considering one damaged element at a time. By establishing a relation between modal data, damage size, and POD/PFA, the proposed approach can assess the quality of the adopted DI, thus supporting the initial design of an SHM system.
Vibration-Based Structural Damage Detection Using the Interactive Autodidactic School Optimization Algorithm Based on an Energy-Dissipation Method Milad Jahangiri, Mohammad Ali Hadianfard, Mohammad Amir Najafgholipour, Mehdi Jahangiri International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2022 The conventional modal strain energy (MSE), as a practical objective function, suffers from the lack of access to the damaged stiffness matrix and uses the intact stiffness matrix of the structure instead. To overcome the aforementioned deficiency of the MSE, this study proposes a reformed elastic strain energy-dissipation criterion called the “augmented modal strain energy” (AMSE) which is composed of relative differences of natural frequency and mode shape. In the AMSE not only the effects of the energy-dissipation criterion as a function of natural frequency but also the equilibria of the elastic strain energy as a function of mode shape are considered. Hereupon, the AMSE is implemented along with the interactive autodidactic school (IAS) optimization algorithm to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed identification method. In this regard, the AMSE is verified by assessing three benchmark truss and frame structures. The obtained results confirm the reliable performance of AMSE in both terms of intensification and diversification. Furthermore, it is observed that despite using noise-polluted modal data, the proposed AMSE not only identifies the damage location accurately, but also anticipates the extent of damage precisely. Consequently, the proposed energy-dissipation-based objective function (AMSE) is suggested, along with the IAS optimization algorithm, as a robust technique for the damage detection of structures.
