Damage identification Methods are also classified on various criteria such as level of detection
provided, model based, non-model based, and linear or non-linear.
Another classification system for damage-identification methods defines four levels ,as follows
( Rytter,1993)
MODAL PROPERTIES are function of physical properties of the structure (mass, stiffness, and
damping).
Primary modal properties used as indicators of damage : natural frequencies, mode shapes,
damping factors.
Other than these three, shifts in FRFs peaks, curvature of mode shapes, transmissibility
functions, mobility functions etc. are used based on their efficiency as an indicator of severity
of damage.

When damage detection can be done till level 1, comes under forward problem which is typically
modelling damage mathematically from a FEM model of structure, then measured frequencies
are compared to the predicted frequencies to determine the damage.
Level 2 and level 3 comes under inverse problem where location and assessment of the degree of
damage using damage parameters such as frequency shifts, sensitivity, MAC, COMAC, curvature
mode shapes, mode shape changes etc.,
The damage detection reduces to some form of statistical pattern recognition
problem(Doebling,1998)
Whatever the method used to identify damage, utilizes the modal properties or their derivatives
in some function form such as Frequency response function which is defined as the ratio of
response of the structure(typically acceleration) to the excitation force applied on structure;
transmissibility functions ratio of two FRFs corresponding to two different locations.
Some methods use matrix updating techniques where structural model matrices are modified to
reproduce the measured response from the data, thereby assessing damage and methods
identifying nonlinear response due to cracks(fatigue) are also used.
Some methods use just the measured data from physical model to assess damage and others use
FEM model in addition to physical model
Broadly identification methods can also be classified as model-driven and data driven
methods.(Wordon, Manson ,2006)
Model driven method is a forward problem and can be an inverse problem too. In this method a
FEM model and actual structure data are correlated for damage using various damage
parameters.
Where we use only measured data to assess damage through system identification procedures
commonly referred as experimental modal analysis (D.J.Ewins,1984 & Pete Avitabile)
Data driven methods though similar to Model driven method but essentially use a statistical
representation of system e.g. PDF of normal condition and any departures from this distribution
of the measured data gives level of damage.
The algorithms developed/used in data driven methods are mainly from discipline of Machine
learning.
Popular and well-known algorithm in damage identification method being Artificial Neural
Networks which comes under supervised machine learning algorithm.
Others being Mahalnobis squared distance, Nave bayes, k-NN, linear regression, decision trees,
least square optimization coupled with other algorithms, Support Vector machines, etc..
Though ANN is used to identify damage and locate it but suffers from few drawbacks such as :
Multiple local minima
Frequent over-fitting of data
Dimensionality of data used for classification or regression in damage identification
Problem statement
Identifying the damage till level 3 in a beam and plate.
Here , Support Vector Machine algorithm is used for classification or regression of the data for
identification and location and if possible to assess severity degree.
Matlab is used for coding and externally available coding package for the algorithm is used
LIBSVM.

The paper uses the mode shapes as damage indicator and used to identify location of
damage as these mode shapes are sensitive to local damage.
The greatest change in mode shapes occur around defect as opposed to natural
frequencies where similar defects at various positions induce the same amount of frequency
change.
The sensitivity based approaches require significant amount of computation for large
structures which is disadvantage.
The author verifies the applied methods of using mode shape curvature and mode shape
relative difference method using MAC and COMAC against the measured data from a cantilever
steel beam and

the author utilizes the shift in Eigen values and Eigen vectors as a means of determining
the damage location. The change in eigen values and eigen vectors follows a definite trend in
relation to the location and the extent of damage. A numerical FEM model of cantilever beam

In this paper a technique for the detection of transverse embedded cracks in composite
materials is presented. Static strain measurements made at predefined sensor locations under
varying loading conditions are shown to provide a good feature vector. A comparison between
SVM an d ANN as classifier is given in this paper. Our results suggest that for this particular
application SVM models may have better prediction performance than ANN.

It is easy to show that the distance of each point in the training set from the separating hyperplane is
| | . Now tau() is the margin/ interval containing the region of hyperplane but excluding
the training points. If
( )

||
Note that the parameterization of the hyperplane is currently arbitrary. This can be fixed by
specifying
||w|| = 1
It is now clear that maximizing the margin will place the hyperplane at the furthest point from
the data and this can be accomplished by minimizing ||w|| subject to constraints as described
previously.
An appropriate objective function is

The KT conditions also assert that an i can only be non-zero if the corresponding constraint holds
with equality,
, 1 = 0 ,the corresponding data points Xi fall on the margin are called
Support vectors.
the dual formulation of the problem is found by substituting first KT condition into objective
function and it is maximized wrt

Once the optimum is found by quadratic programming , the optimum hyperplane is given as
=
=1 { , } this shows how a classifier with maximum margin is
constructed, provided the data is linearly separable. If the data is not linearly separable , we
introduce slack variables , to account for non-separable data.
A set data can be classified into two classes by a line for 2D cases and by a hyperplane (in higher
dimensions) for multi classification.
This hyperplane being an objective function which is at the maximum distance in space from the
nearest points to it throughout the sample data is solved by quadratic programming or SMO
(sequential minimal optimization) is used to classify data.
In our context, the data being classified whether from damaged or undamaged cases or location
of damage if there is damage in structure using regression.
A Popular Matlab code LIBSVM for this Support vector machine algorithm which is made
available online by researchers Chih-Chung Chang and Chih-Jeh-Lin is used throughout the
analysis.
