Abstract

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a technology designed to continuously assess the structural integrity of different assets based on measurements obtained from sensors. In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in these systems due to the economic and safety advantages they are capable of providing. This project aims to study a structure defined by Los Alamos National Laboratory and expand the damage scenarios studied. The project is focused on studying different frequency correlation methods and their viability to monitor real structures subjected to environmental noise. The results obtained indicate that the Spectral Correlation Index is a reliable damage indicator for detecting and evaluating the severity of damage for a wide range of scenarios.
