Damage detection in bridge structures under moving loads with phase trajectory change of multi-type vibration measurements

This paper presents a non-model based damage detection approach for bridge structures under moving loads based on the phase trajectory change of multi-type vibration measurements. A brief theoretical background on the vibration of a simply-supported bridge with a crack under moving load is described. The phase trajectories of multi-type dynamic responses are obtained and a damage index is defined as the separated distance between the...
