The aim of this study is to investigate the use of MFP for passive localization of a local change in parameter of a vibrating shell in the modal regime. Matched-Field Processing is a beamforming method that uses the correlation between the recorded data and a controllable digital model of wave propagation (replica) to locate a source. Vibration measurements were conducted on an aluminum plate using a laser vibrometer. The plate was tested both with and without damage (added mass) while being excited by a shaker. Replicas were created by performing modal analysis on measurements taken from the undamaged structure. Matched-Field Processing is applied directly to the measured data to locate the active source (shaker) and to the residues (field difference between undamaged and damaged states) to locate a local variation of the parameter (defect). The method's feasibility is also being explored for passive measurements in modal analysis and residue computation.", }
