Response covariance-based sensor placement for structural damage detection
One important function of a structural health monitoring system is to detect structural damage in a structure. However, this is a very challenging task since the measurement is often incomplete in a civil structure due to a limited number of sensors. This paper presents a response covariance-based sensor placement method for structural damage detection with two objective functions for optimisation. The relationship between the covariance of acceleration responses and the covariance of unit impulse responses of a structure subjected to multiple white noise excitations is first derived. The response covariance-based damage detection method is then presented. Two objective functions based on the response covariance sensitivity and the response independence are, respectively, formulated and finally integrated into a single objective function for optimal sensor placement. Numerical studies are conducted to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method via a three-dimensional frame structure. Numerical results show that the proposed method with the backward sequential sensor placement algorithm is effective for damage detection.
