Structural health monitoring technology detects damage in civil, aerospace, and other structures. Structural damage is usually comprised of cracking, delaminations, or loose fasteners, which result in the reduction of stiffness. Many structural health monitoring methods are based on tracking changes in natural frequencies. Modeling a structure as a one DOF harmonic oscillator, calculate the change in stiffness needed to cause a 3% reduction in the natural frequency of the structure being monitored.
