Abstract A method based on best achievable flexibility change is presented in this paper to localize and quantify multiple damages in structures. The key process of the damage localization approach is the computation of the Euclidean distances between the measured flexibility change and the best achievable flexibility changes. The location of damage can be identified by searching for a value that is considerably smaller than others in these distances. For the multiple-damage case, a sequential damage localization approach is proposed to locate the damage sites one by one. With the suspected damaged elements determined, the flexibility sensitivity method is employed to… More >
