TLDR
In this article, a damage detection method of mechanical system based on subspace identification concepts and statistical process techniques is presented, where measured time-responses of structures subjected to artificial or environmental vibrations are assembled to form the Hankel matrix, which is further factorised by performing singular value decomposition to obtain characteristic subspaces.

Distinguishing between sensor fault, structural damage, and environmental or operational effects in structural health monitoring

TL;DR: In this paper, the sensor network is modelled as a Gaussian process and the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is then used to detect and localize a change in the system.

Fault detection based on Kernel Principal Component Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a Kernel PCA (KPCA) based method for fault detection in mechanical systems using subspaces between the reference and a current state of the system through the concept of subspace angle.

Subspace-based gearbox condition monitoring by kernel principal component analysis

TL;DR: Experimental analysis with a fatigue test of an automobile transmission gearbox shows that the KPCA features outperform PCA features in terms of clustering capability, and both the two K PCA-based subspace methods can be effectively applied to gearbox condition monitoring.

Frequency response function interpolation for damage detection under changing environment

TL;DR: Results show that, despite the changes of temperature, the IDDM provides a correct identification of damage location even for cases where the evolution of modal frequencies belies the actual damaged state of the structure.

Subspace-based damage detection under changes in the ambient excitation statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and fast subspace-based damage detection test is derived that is robust to changes in the excitation covariance but also to numerical instabilities that can arise easily in the computations.

Subspace Identification for Linear Systems: Theory - Implementation - Applications

TL;DR: This book focuses on the theory, implementation and applications of subspace identification algorithms for linear time-invariant finitedimensional dynamical systems, which allow for a fast, straightforward and accurate determination of linear multivariable models from measured inputoutput data.

Reference-based stochastic subspace identification for output-only modal analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel approach of stochastic subspace identification is presented that incorporates the idea of the reference sensors already in the identification step: the row space of future outputs is projected into the rowspace of past reference outputs.

Damage diagnosis using time series analysis of vibration signals

TL;DR: In this paper, a data normalization procedure is proposed to locate damage sources in a mechanical system, which is running in various operational environments, by solely analyzing the acceleration time histories recorded from a structure of interest, based on the assumption that if there were damage in the structure, the prediction model previously identified using the undamaged time history would not reproduce the newly obtained time series measured from the damaged structure.

Damage detection using outlier analysis

TL;DR: The concept of discordancy from the statistical discipline of outlier analysis is used to signal deviance from the norm in a statistical method for damage detection.

Modal testing and analysis of structures under operational conditions: industrial applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the output-only modal analysis has typically been approached by applying a peak-picking technique to the auto and cross-powers of the measured responses, resulting in operational deflection shapes and approximate estimates for the resonance frequencies.
