This paper describes a technique, quantifying the differences in waveforms between damaged and undamaged states to measure damage severity. The technique has been verified experimentally and demonstrated promise in detecting and quantifying subsurface defects. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been performed alongside as a valid model may avoid time consuming and expensive experiments. Testing is first performed on a simple flat plate and a realistic wing skin structure with geometry such as stiffening ribs. This revealed geometry will alter the regions of scatter which leads queries over optimal sensor location. It was also discovered actuator location may not necessarily be intuitive. The comparisons made here show that implementation of an ISHM system on real world subjects is feasible despite added complexity.

Abstract A modal H2 norm is used to detect structural damages. The norm is determined for each sensor location, and for modal modes of interest. The sensor norm detects the damage location, the modal norm detect the most damaged mode.
