Abstract:
Vibration signals extracted from structures across diverse health conditions have become indispensable for monitoring structural integrity. These datasets represent a resource for real-time condition monitoring, enabling the precise detection and diagnosis of system anomalies. This paper aims to enrich the scientific community's database on structural dynamics and experimental methodologies pertinent to system modelling. Leveraging experimental measurements obtained from mass-reinforced beams, these datasets validate numerical models, refine identification techniques, quantify uncertainties, and continuously foster machine learning algorithms' evolution to monitor structural integrity. Furthermore, the beam dataset is data-driven and can be used to develop and test innovative structural health monitoring strategies, specifically identifying damages and anomalies within intricate structural frameworks. Supplemental datasets like Mass-position and damage index introduce parametric uncertainty into experimental and damage identification metrics. Thereby offering valuable insights to elevate the efficacy of monitoring and control techniques. These comprehensive tests also encapsulate paramedic uncertainty, providing robust support for applications in uncertainty quantification, stochastic modelling, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning methodologies.
