Adaptive sequential nonlinear least-square estimation approach is a new structural damage identification technique.In order to reduce the number of sensors in structure health monitoring system,a reduced-order finite-element approach along with the adaptive sequential nonlinear least-square estimation approach is proposed to identify the local damages of complex structures,which is referred to as the reduced-order finite-element model based adaptive sequential nonlinear least-square estimation approach.To verify the capability of the proposed approach,at first a simulation test was performed on a 3-D truss,and three cases under two excitations were considered,including white noise excitation and EL-Centro earthquake excitation.Then experimental tests were performed on a scaled cantilever beam,and six cases under three excitations were considered,including white noise,sinusoidal,and El-Centro excitation.Simulation and experimental tests indicated that the proposed reduced-order finite-element model based sequential nonlinear least-square estimation approach is an effective structural health monitoring method.By using only a few sensors,the structural damages can be detected accurately,including the location and severity of the damage.
