Traditionally, damage identification techniques in bridges have focused on monitoring
changes to modal-based Damage Sensitive Features (DSFs) due to their direct relationship …

Vibration based condition monitoring refers to the use of in situ non-destructive sensing and
analysis of system characteristics–in the time, frequency or modal domains–for the purpose …

In this paper, a new hybrid YUKI-ANN is implemented for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
of laminated composite plates. A finite element model is constructed and used to identify …

The purpose of this book is to give a basic understanding of rotor dynamics phenomena with
the help of simple rotor models and subsequently, the modern analysis methods for real life …

Concentrated damage such as cracks is one of the most common types of damage in
beams. It is essential to detect such damage early to avoid structural failure. Vibration-based …

This paper presents a general summary and review of state-of-the-art and development of
vibration-based structural damage detection. Various structural damage detection methods …

A new simplified approach to modelling cracks in beams undergoing transverse vibration is
presented. The modelling approach uses Euler–Bernoulli beam elements with small …

This paper gives an overview of the use of inverse methods in damage detection and
location, using measured vibration data. Inverse problems require the use of a model and …

There are a number of approaches to the modeling of cracks in beam structures reported in
the literature, that fall into three main categories; local stiffness reduction, discrete spring …

Polymer-based materials are extensively used in various applications such as aircrafts,
civilian structures, oil and gas platforms and electronics. They are, however, inherently …
