摘要：AbstractStructural Health Monitoring (SHM) can be defined as the process of acquiring and analyzing data from on-board sensors to evaluate the health of a structure. Classically, an SHM process can be performed in four steps: detection, localization, classification and quantification. This paper addresses damage quantification issue as a classification problem whereby each class corresponds to a certain damage extent. Starting from the assumption that damage causes a structure to exhibit nonlinear response, we investigate whether the use of nonlinear model based features increases classification performance. A support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to perform multi-class classification task. Two types of features are used as inputs to the SVM algorithm: Signal Based Features (SBF) and Nonlinear Model Based Features (NMBF). SBF are rooted in a direct use of response signals and do not consider any underlying model of the test structure. NMBF are computed based on parallel Hammerstein models which are identified with an Exponential Sine Sweep (ESS) signal. A study of the sensitivity of classification performance to the noise contained in output signals is also conducted. Dimension reduction of features vector using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is carried out in order to find out if it allows robustifying the quantification process suggested in this work. Simulation results on a cantilever beam with a bilinear torsion spring stiffness are considered for demonstration. Results show that by introducing NMBF, classification performance is improved. Furthermore, PCA allows for higher recognition rates while reducing features vector dimension. However, classifiers trained on NMBF or on principal components appear to be more sensitive to output noise than those trained on SBF.
