    Abstract Vibration based damage detection methods play an important role in the maintenance of beam structures such as bridges. However, most of them require the accurate measurement of structural mode shapes, which may not be easily satisfied in practice. Since the measurement of frequencies is more accurate than that of mode shapes, this paper proposes a frequency shift curve (FSC) method, based on the equivalence between the FSC due to auxiliary mass and the mode shape square, which has been demonstrated to be effective in structural damage detection. Two damage indices based on the FSC are More >
