An improved generalized flexibility matrix-based method using matrix partitioning technique for structure damage identification is proposed. As an effective damage identification method, the generalized flexibility matrix requires fewer vibration frequencies and corresponding modal shapes compared with the traditional flexibility matrix method. By introducing a new partitioningtechnique of the matrices involved in the constructive process of the governing equation, the improved method simplifies the process of calculation with a dramatic reduction in computational cost while maintaining accuracy of identification results. In the case of incomplete measured modal data, an improved matrix partitioning technique based on the model expansion method is applied and the damaged indicators can be identified using partial measured modal data. A K-type derrick steel structure in service is considered as a numerical example for inspection the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. Numerical results show better accuracy and efficiency of this method for various damage scenarios, and can be used for damage diagnosis or health monitoring of other large structures.
