Remote structural damage detection via substructuring

An approach to structural damage detection which utilizes the concept of a substructure transfer function matrix is proposed. The major advantage of this approach is that structural changes localized within a small volume can be detected by studying the changes in the transfer function for a relatively small substructure containing the damaged portion.
