6th European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring. Dresden. Germany. 2012. Report. The goal of this study is the development of a statistical time series method for both damage detection and precise localization. The method is based on the postulation of Vector Functionally Pooled AutoRegressive with eXogenous excitation (VFP-ARX) models, where the operating parameter vector consists of three components, each one corresponding to a single dimension of the three dimensional space. The method essentially constitutes an extension of a simpler version working on a single dimension and recently introduced by the last two authors and their collaborators. The effectiveness of the method is experimentally assessed via several damage cases in a 3D truss structure and single-excitation single-response vibration signals.
