In this paper, algorithmic approaches to enhance model correlation and system health monitoring capability are developed in which direct frequency response function (FRF) data are utilized. The algorithmic approaches utilizes the concept of minimum rank perturbation theory. The use of direct FRFs, as opposed to measured modal parameters, is shown to be one method to address a part of the incomplete measurement problem common to model correlation and system health monitoring; namely the mismatch in the number of measured vibration modes in the measured frequency band in comparison to the number of modes included in the analytical finite element model. Key points made in the development are highlighted using numerical and experimental studies.

Key Words: damage detection • frequency response functions • minimum rank perturbation theory • system identification
