Heterogeneous sensor fusion for reducing uncertainty in structural health monitoring
This work attempts a comprehensive processing of response signals acquired from an experimental campaign on a local historical bridge using four different types of sensorysystems. A general analysis setup is developed, allowing for consistent modal dynamic identification via individual signal processing as well as via data fusion through dedicated Multi-Rate Kalman filtering approach. The investigation reveals the potential and limitations in terms of utilization of novel instrumentation systems to be adopted for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) purposes
