Abstract
In this review article, the past investigations carried out on heritage structures using Ambient Vibration Test (AVT) and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) for system identification (determination of dynamic properties like frequency, mode shape and damping ratios) and associated applications are summarized. A total of 68 major research studies on heritage structures around the world that are available in literature are surveyed for this purpose. At first, field investigations carried out on heritage structures prior to conducting AVT are explained in detail. Next, specifications of accelerometers, location of accelerometers and optimization of accelerometer networks have been elaborated with respect to the geometry of the heritage structures. In addition to this, ambient vibration loads and data acquisition procedures are also discussed. Further, the state of art of performing OMA techniques for heritage structures is explained briefly. Furthermore, various applications of system identification for heritage structures are documented. Finally, conclusions are made towards errorless system identification of heritage structures through AVT and OMA.
期刊介绍:
In order to maintain a reasonable cost for large scale structures such as airframes, offshore structures, nuclear plants etc., it is generally accepted that improved methods for structural integrity and durability assessment are required. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) had emerged as an active area of research for fatigue life and damage accumulation prognostics. This is important for design and maintains of new and ageing structures.
