Stayed-Cable Bridge Damage Detection and Localization Based on Accelerometer Health Monitoring Measurements by Mosbeh R. Kaloop, Jong Wan Hu

“…The assessment of the structural health monitoring and damage analysis concluded that (1) the kurtosis statistical moment can be used as an indicator for damage especially with increasing its percentage of change as the damage should occur; (2) the percentage of change of the Kernel density probability for the model identification error estimation can detect and localize the damage; (3) the simplified spectrum of the acceleration-displacement responses and frequencies probability changes are good tools for detection and localization of the one-line bridge damage.…”
