Frequency-based methods for the detection of damage in structures: A chronological review

Infrastructure development is a common feature of emerging countries. As a result, the design and construction of complex structuressusceptible to damage is becoming increasingly common. Over the years, multiple advances in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) haveallowed researchers and engineers to detect, locate, and quantify structural damage in critical components of civil engineering structures.Frequency-based methods have demonstrated their reliability in multiple numerical and experimental applications. This study presents abrief chronological literature review of methodologies based on frequency analysis that have been used in the detection ofstructural damageover the last forty years. It is worth noting that the paper focuses on computer-aided techniques such as artificial neuronal networks (ANN),genetic algorithms (GAs), and metaheuristics that have been employed to solve the inverse damage detection problem.
