Real-time structural parameter identification and damage detection are of great significance for structural health monitoring systems. The extended Kalman filter has been implemented in many structural damage detection methods due to its capability to estimate structural parameters based on online measurement data. Current research assumes constant structural parameters and uses static statistical process control for damage detection. However, structural parameters are typically slow-changing due to variations such as environmental and operational effects. Hence, false alarms may easily be triggered when the data points falling outside of the static statistical process control range due to the environmental and operational effects. In order to overcome this problem, this article presents a novel real-time structural damage detection method by integrating extended Kalman filter and dynamic statistical process control. Based on historical measurements of damage-sensitive parameters in the state-space model, extended Kalman filter is used to provide real-time estimations of these parameters as well as standard derivations in each time step, which are then used to update the control limits for dynamic statistical process control to detect any abnormality in the selected parameters. The numerical validation is performed on both linear and nonlinear structures, considering different damage scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate high detection accuracy rate and light computational costs of the developed extended Kalman filter–dynamic statistical process control damage detection method and the potential for implementation in structural health monitoring systems for in-service civil structures.

In order to reduce the impact of data noise to quality control and make monitor results more precise in manufacturing process, the method of statistical process control based on Kalman filter was proposed. In this method, the statistical process control model based on Kalman filter was built and the quality control method of exponentially weighted moving average based on Kalman filter was put forward. While monitoring manufacturing process, first the technology of Kalman filter was used to smooth data and to reduce noise, and then control charts were built by the method of exponentially weighted moving average to monitor quality. Finally, the performance of the exponentially weighted moving average method based on Kalman filter and the tranditional exponentially weighted moving average method was compared. The performance result illustrates the feasibility and validity of the proposed quality monitor method.

The paper shows the relation among the number of small, medium and large companies in the leather and footwear industry in Croatia, as well as the relation among the number of their employees by means of the Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficient. The data were collected during 21 years. The warning zone and the risk zone were determined by means of the Statistical Process Control (SPC) for a certain number of small, medium and large companies in the leather and footwear industry in Croatia. Growth models, based on externalities, models based on research and development and the AK models were applied for the analysis of the obtained research results. The paper shows using the correlation coefficients that The relation between the number of large companies and their number of employees is the strongest, i.e. large companies have the best structured work places. The relation between the number of medium companies and the number of their employees is a bit weaker, while there is no relation in small companies. This is best described by growth models based on externalities, in which growth generates the increase in human capital, i.e. the growth of the level of knowledge and skills in the entire economy, but also deductively in companies on microeconomic level. These models also recognize the limit of accumulated knowledge after which growth may be expected. The absence of growth in small companies results from an insufficient level of human capital and failure to reach its limit level which could generate growth. According to Statistical Process Control (SPC), control charts, as well as regression models, it is clear that the most cost-effective investment is the investment into medium companies. The paper demonstrates the disadvantages in small, medium and large companies in the leather and footwear industry in Croatia. Small companies often emerge too quickly and disappear too easily owing to the employment of administrative staff instead of professional production staff. As the models emphasize, companies need to invest into their employees and employ good production staff. Investment and support to the medium companies not only strengthens the companies which have a well-arranged technological process and a good systematization of work places, but this also helps large companies, as there is a strong correlation between the number of medium and large companies.
