Abstract
Early detection of damage is of special concern for civil engineering structures. If not identified in time, damage may have serious consequences, both safety related and economic. The traditional methods of damage detection include visual inspection or instrumental evaluation. A comparatively recent development in the health monitoring of civil engineering structures is vibration-based damage detection. Vibration characteristics of a structure, that is, its frequencies, mode shapes, and damping are directly affected by the physical characteristics of the structure including its mass and stiffness. Damage reduces the stiffness of the structure and alters its vibration characteristics. Therefore, measurement and monitoring of vibration characteristics should theoretically permit the detection of both the location and severity of damage. However, in practice, a number of difficulties persist in vibration-based damage identification. As a result, most of the damage identification algorithms fail when applied to practical civil engineering structures. This article presents a survey of some of the more commonly used algorithms and describes the conditions under which they may or may not work. The success of individual algorithms is measured through computer simulation studies. It may, however, be noted that additional practical difficulties that cannot entirely be reproduced through computer simulation exist, which makes vibration-based damage identification a challenging field with many unanswered questions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
