Dual testing field for studies of environmental and operational effects in structural damage localization of mechanical structures

This dataset accompanies the research on the impact of Environmental and Operational Conditions (EOC) on vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods. It includes comprehensive acceleration data collected from a novel experimental testing field consisting of two identical mechanical structures. One structure operates in a controllable laboratory environment, while the other is subjected to real-world EOC in a field setup. The dataset captures mass along with various environmental factors affecting the field setup. This modular measurement system ensures the collection of high-quality data, making this dataset a valuable benchmark for researchers studying the effects of EOC on SHM. The dataset provides a unique opportunity for validating and developing robust SHM techniques that can adapt to varying EOC, fostering advancements in the field.
