The Damage Locating Vector Approach

Synthesized flexibility at sensors

[FU]

Synthesized flexibility at sensors

[FD]

Assume there are load distributions (at the sensors) that give the same deformations in the undamaged and damaged systems. Collecting all these distributions in [L] one gets:

[FD-FU] [L]= [0]
