Background: Structural damage identification is a very important subject in the field of civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering according to recent patents. Optimal sensor placement is one of the key problems to be solved in structural damage identification. Methods: This paper presents a simple and convenient algorithm for optimizing sensor locations for structural damage identification. Unlike other algorithms found in the published papers, the optimization procedure of sensor placement is divided into two stages. The first stage is to determine the key parts in the whole structure by their contribution to the global flexibility perturbation. The second stage is to place sensors on the nodes associated with those key parts for monitoring possible damage more efficiently. With the sensor locations determined by the proposed optimization process, structural damage can be readily identified by using the incomplete modes yielded from these optimized sensor measurements. In addition, an Improved Ridge Estimate (IRE) technique is proposed in this study to effectively resist the data errors due to modal truncation and measurement noise. Two truss structures and a frame structure are used as examples to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the presented algorithm. Results: From the numerical results, structural damages can be successfully detected by the proposed method using the partial modes yielded by the optimal measurement with 5% noise level. Conclusion: It has been shown that the proposed method is simple to implement and effective for structural damage identification.

A framework for optimal sensor placement (OSP) for virtual sensing using the modal expansion technique and taking into account uncertainties is presented based on information and utility theory. The framework is developed to handle virtual sensing under output-only vibration measurements. The OSP maximizes a utility function that quantifies the expected information gained from the data for reducing the uncertainty of quantities of interest (QoI) predicted at the virtual sensing locations. The utility function is extended to make the OSP design robust to uncertainties in structural model and modeling error parameters, resulting in a multidimensional integral of the expected information gain over all possible values of the uncertain parameters and weighted by their assigned probability distributions. Approximate methods are used to compute the multidimensional integral and solve the optimization problem that arises. The Gaussian nature of the response QoI is exploited to derive useful and informative analytical expressions for the utility function. A thorough study of the effect of model, prediction and measurement errors and their uncertainties, as well as the prior uncertainties in the modal coordinates on the selection of the optimal sensor configuration is presented, highlighting the importance of accounting for robustness to errors and other uncertainties.
