Reconstructed Phase Space-Based Damage Detection Using a Single Sensor for Beam-Like Structure Subjected to a Moving Mass

This paper presents a novel damage detection method based on the reconstructed phase space of vibration signals using a single sensor. In this approach, a moving mass is applied as excitation source, and the structure vibration responses at different positions are measured using a single sensor. A Moving Filter Function (MFF) is also presented to be used to separate and filter the responses before phase space reconstruction. Using the determined...
