Abstract

In the past twenty-five years, structural health monitoring (SHM) has become an increasingly significant topic of investigation in the civil and structural engineering research community. An SHM schema involves three main steps: (a) measurement and acquisition of signals related to the structural response, (b) signal processing consisting of pre-processing and feature extraction employing nonlinear measurements, and (c) interpretation using machine learning. This article presents a review of recent journal articles on nonlinear measurements used for feature extraction in SHM of building and bridge structures. It also reviews three recently-developed nonlinear indexes with potential applications in SHM.
