Abstract
In vibration-based structural health monitoring the natural frequencies of the monitored structures are subjected to different sources of change including: (i) varying environmental conditions (i.e., temperature, humidity, and wind conditions) and (ii) structural degradation and damage. Thus, an accurate detection of structural degradation and damage depends on removing any influence from the environmental conditions on the natural frequencies. If such an influence is not removed, there is a risk of false positive or negative damage diagnosis and thus the damage detection is not robust and reliable. In this study, removal of the environmental conditions and the following damage detection is conducted by applying an output-only principal component analysis as well as an inputoutput multi linear regression model. The purpose of this is to assess robustness of these methods by highlighting their advantages and disadvantages in terms of modeling the environmental conditions and detecting structural changes. The investigation is based on vibration data of a wooden mast structure subjected to natural loads and induced with damage at different levels.
