This paper investigates damage identification metrics and their performance using a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric harvester for Structural Health Monitoring. In order to do this, the vibrations of three different beam structures are monitored in a controlled manner via two piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) located in two different positions. One of the beams is an undamaged structure recognized as reference structure, while the other two are beam structures with simulated damage in form of drilling holes. Subsequently, five different damage identification metrics for detecting damage localization and extent are investigated in this paper. Overall, each computational model has been designed on the basis of the modified First Order Shear Theory (FOST), considering an MFC element consisting homogenized materials in the piezoelectric fiber layer. Frequency response functions are established and five damage metrics are assessed, three of which are relevant for damage localization and the other two for damage extent. Experiments carried out on the lab stand for damage structure with control damage by using a modal hammer allowed to verify numerical results and values of particular damage metrics. In the effect, it is expected that the proposed method will be relevant for a wide range of application sectors, as well as useful for the evolving composite industry.
