In this paper a time-varying identification method is presented, in order to detect the presence of an open crack in a beam with a moving mass travelling on it. The ratio between the considered moving mass and the total mass of the beam is high, thus the identified modal frequencies of the whole structure are time-varying. This situation often occurs when considering the dynamic interaction beetween a train and a bridge and specific identification tools must be used. It is shown that the identification method, referred to here as Short-Time Stochastic Subspace Identification, can give information about the presence of damage in case of time-varying systems.

A system identification method for estimating natural frequencies is proposed. This method developed based on the stochastic subspace identification method can identify modal parameters of structures in operating conditions with harmonic components in excitation. It benefits wind turbine tower structural health assessment because classical operational modal analysis methods can fail as periodic rotation excitation from a turbine introduces strong harmonic disturbance to tower structure response data. The effectiveness, accuracy and robustness of the proposed method were numerically investigated and verified through a lumped-mass system model.
