Identification of Damage in a Beam Structure by Using Mode Shape Curvature Squares

During the last decades a great variety of methods have been proposed for damage detection by using the dynamic structure characteristics, however, most of them require modal data of the structure for the healthy state as a reference. In this paper the applicability of the mode shape curvature squar...
