Combined modal parameters-based index for damage identification in a beamlike structure: theoretical development and verification

A new index for detecting the damage severity in structural elements by combining modal parameters is proposed in this study. The index is based on the combined effect of both the natural frequencies and mode shapes when a change in stiffness of the structural element occurs. In order to demonstrate...
