Abstract
In this paper we discuss the results of experimental and numerical studies carried out for monitoring the integrity of a model of the side shell of a ship’s structure, using its vibration responses. The model was tested for different crack development scenarios under random exciting force having a dominant spectral frequency much lower than the first natural frequency of the structure . Sensor locations were justified based on modal responses under intact and damaged conditions. A damage detection procedure using the root mean square response modal amplitudes is also presented.
