Operational modal analysis and structural health monitoring using transmissibility measurements and fiber sensor technology (FWOKN244)
Operational Modal Analysis allows identifying the dynamic behavior of structures in operational conditions. In my previous and ongoing research a new OMA approach based on transmissibility measurements was proposed that increases the reliability and applicability of OMA techniques.
The goal of structural health monitoring (SHM) is to detect damage before it becomes critical for the structure's integrity. In my previous research a promising approach based on transmissibility measurements for detecting and locating damage in changing operational conditions was proposed.
The first promising steps have been made and transmissibility functions have proven to be very useful in the field of OMA and SHM. However, there are definitely a number of aspects that require more study and suggest a natural direction for future work.
I also believe that, both in the field of OMA and SHM, the biggest leap forward will be made by investigating the combination of the above techniques with enhanced and innovative measurement systems, such as the Laser Doppler Vibrometer and fibre optic sensors.
Finally the testing and monitoring of wind turbines are considered as one of the most relevant industrial applications of the proposed techniques and definitely require further investigation.
