Maher Abdelghani  Michèle Basseville, Albert Benveniste
Luc Hermans, and Herman van der Auweraer

Based on the recent stochastic subspace identification algorithms, we present recent advances in our comprehensive approach for 1/ in-operation modal identification of structures, 2/ in-operation detection of damages, and 3/ in-operation diagnostics of damages in terms of both modes and mode shapes, or alternatively in terms of finite element parameters (Young's modulus and volumic mass).

Keywords : structural identification, in operation health monitoring, subspace algorithms.
