In present paper, the damage identification in two polymer composite beams is shown with two methods - spatial continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and mode shape curvature squares (MSCS) using experimental data from operational deflection shapes (ODS). Damage was introduced via low velocity impact drop tower. Statistical hypothesis approach was used to calculate standardized damage index (SDI) that served as a damage indicator for both methods. In order to truncate smaller magnitude SDI peaks, a threshold of 1.28, corresponding to the confidence level of 90%, was applied. Damage estimate reliability (DER) vs wavelet scale test was performed in order to quantify the reliability of damage detection in terms of percentage at each scale parameter. Overall, 78 different wavelet functions were tested. Results indicate that both methods are capable to locate the area of damage.
