Staff members at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) produced a summary of the structural health monitoring literature in 1995. This presentation will summarize the outcome of an updated review covering the years 1996 2001. The updated review follows the LANL statistical pattern recognition paradigm for SHM, which addresses four topics: 1. Operational Evaluation; 2. Data Acquisition and Cleansing; 3. Feature Extraction; and 4. Statistical Modeling for Feature Discrimination. The literature has been reviewed based on how a particular study addresses these four topics. A significant observation from this review is that although there are many more SHM studies being reported, the investigators, in general, have not yet fully embraced the well-developed tools from statistical pattern recognition. As such, the discrimination procedures employed are often lacking the appropriate rigor necessary for this technology to evolve beyond demonstration problems carried out in laboratory setting.

A review of structural health monitoring literature 1996-2001

A critical review of the intrinsic nature of vortex-induced vibrations

This article reviews the development of the original modal assurance criterion (MAC) together with other related assurance criteria that have been proposed over the last twenty years. Some of the other assurance criteria that will be discussed include the coordinate modal assurance criterion (COMAC), the frequency response assurance criterion (FRAC), coordinate orthogonality check (CORTHOG), frequency scaled modal assurance criterion (FMAC), partial modal assurance criterion (PMAC), scaled modal assurance criterion (SMAC), and modal assurance criterion using reciprocal modal vectors (MACRV). In particular, the thought process that relates the original MAC development to ordinary coherence and to orthogonality computations will be explained. Several uses of MAC that may not be obvious to the casual observer (modal parameter estimation consistency diagrams and model updating are two examples) will be identified. The common problems with the implementation and use of modal assurance criterion computations will also be identified. The development of the modal assurance criterion 1-2 over twenty years ago has led to a number of similar assurance criteria used in the area of experimental and analytical structural dynamics. It is important to recognize the mathematical similarity of these varied criteria in order to be certain that conclusions be correctly drawn from what is essentially a squared, linear regression correlation coefficient. The modal assurance criterion is a statistical indicator, just like ordinary coherence, which can be very powerful when used correctly but very misleading when used incorrectly. This article will first review the historical development of the modal assurance criterion. Other similar assurance criteria will then be identified although the list is not intended to be comprehensive. Typical uses of the modal assurance criterion will be discussed and finally, typical abuses will be identified.
