Nonlinearity identification of Jesus Christ the King monument on the basis of modal parameters

Abstract

The work presents an attempt to identify the nonlinearity of the structure using a simple autonomous vibration recorder. The vibrations were measured continuously for 4 days in three directions, which easily made it possible to record various load states of the structure. The analysis of the response spectra shows a change in the eigenfrequencies caused by the level of load, which is a measure of the non-linearity of the structure. The presented method is an interesting alternative to expensive multi-channel visit measurements, in which the equipment is compensated by the length of measurements
