Abstract
Much attention has been paid by researchers in the modal analysis
community to the detection of damage in structures by monitoring
changes in modal parameters. The reliability of the damage detection
techniques depends on the accuracy of the modal parameter estimates.
This paper shows that a Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) combined
with a multisine excitation is a powerful tool for structural damage
detection.
