In recent years, single-step, two-step, and multiple-step methods have been proposed by different researchers. Fig. 7 shows the percentage of each method. It is clear that the single-step methods are the most utilized techniques. However, two-step and multiple-step methods have been developed to provide better accuracy for damage identification.

Multiple-step 4%

Two-step 25%

Single-step 71%
