N2 - A novel nondestructive Structural Health Assessment (SHA) technique, known as the Generalized Iterative Least-Squares Extended Kalman Filter with Unknown Input (GILS-EKF-UI) method, is being developed at the University of Arizona. The procedure can detect defects in new, deteriorated or rehabilitated existing structures or just after large natural or manmade events. Most SI-based SHA approaches use excitation and response information to identify a structure. Excitation information is not available in most cases. It could be noise-contaminated and the SI concept may not be applicable. For large complicated real structures, it may not be possible to measure responses at all dynamic degrees of freedom and they always contain noise. Addressing all the issues, the GILS-EKF-UI method is being developed and is presented here.
