Detecting damage in structures based on the change in their dynamics or modal parameters (modal frequencies and mode shapes) has been extensively studied for three decades. The success of such a global, passive, vibration-based method in field applications, however, has long been hindered by the bottleneck of low spatial resolution vibration sensor measurements. The primary reason is that damage typically initiates and develops in local regions that need to be captured and characterized by very high spatial resolution vibration measurements and modal parameters (mode shapes), which are extremely difficult to obtain using traditional vibration measurement techniques. For example, accelerometers and strain-gauge sensors are typically placed at a limited number of discrete locations, providing low spatial resolution vibration measurements. Laser vibrometers provide high-resolution measurements, but are expensive and make sequential measurements that are time- and labor-consuming. Recently, digital video cameras—which are relatively low cost, agile, and able to provide high spatial resolution, simultaneous, pixel measurements—have emerged as a promising tool to achieve full-field, high spatial resolution vibration measurements. Combined with advanced vision processing and unsupervised machine algorithms, a new method has recently been developed to blindly and efficiently extract the full-field, high-resolution, dynamic parameters from the video measurements of an operating, output-only structure. This work studies the feasibility of performing damage detection using the full-field, very high spatial resolution mode shape (of the fundamental mode) blindly extracted from the video of the operating (output-only) structure without any knowledge of reference (healthy) structural information. A spatial fractal dimension analysis is applied on the full-field mode shape of the damaged structure to detect damage-induced irregularity. Additionally, the equivalence between the fractal dimension and the squared curvature (modal strain energy) of the mode shape curve, when of high spatial resolution, is mathematically derived. Laboratory experiments are conducted on bench-scale structures, including a building structure and a cantilever beam, to validate the approach. The results illustrate that using the full-field, very high-resolution mode shape enables detection of minute, non-visible, damage in a global, completely passive sensing manner, which was previously not possible to achieve.
