Our deteriorating civil infrastructure faces the critical challenge of long-term structural health
monitoring for damage detection and localization. In contrast to existing research that often …

The reliability and safety of bolted joints is one of the crucial engineering problems during
design of mechanical structures. In this paper, finite element method was used to investigate …

In conjunction with the rapid development of high quality laser welding, industrial
manufacturing has seen a growing demand for process monitoring and diagnostics. This …

This paper is aimed at presenting a novel and effective method to detect and estimate
structural damage by introducing an efficient objective function which is based on Modal …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a relevant topic for civil systems and involves the
monitoring, data processing and interpretation to evaluate the condition of a structure, in …

Aiming at the characteristics of the asymmetric hysteretic performance of truss string
structure, and considering the plastic development of truss string structure. The experimental …

In the paper, experimental studies of an asymmetric preloaded sevenbolted connection are
presented. The tightening process of the connection was carried out with a wrench …

There usually exist multitudinous finite element (FE) models with varying level of complexity
which can be developed from the engineering judgment for the purpose of structural system …

This paper presents a novel and effective modal data-based methodology for structural
damage localization and quantification when the structure is equipped with a limited number …

Damage identification using eigenvalue shifts is ill-posed because the number of identifiable
eigenvalues is typically far less than the number of potential damage locations. This paper …
