Relative entropy has been employed, as an alternative to other regularization methods, in solving ill-conditioned linear inverse problems. Damage detection when treated as structural modification imparted by the damage leads to a linear inverse problem involving frequency response functions. This problem is amenable to ill-conditioning issues that could arise from the low frequency response values and noisy experiments. This article formulates and solves using the minimum relative entropy method the damage detection and localization problem on a simulated cantilever beam.
