This report contains a review of the technical literature concerning the detection, location,
and characterization of structural damage via techniques that examine changes in …

Structural health monitoring and damage detection techniques are tools of great importance
in the off-shore, civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering communities, both for safety …

Structural damage detection has gained increasing attention from the scientific community
since unpredicted major hazards, most with human losses, have been reported. Aircraft …

This paper presents a new damage identification technique based on the statistical
moments of the energy density function of the vibration responses in the time–scale (or time …

This paper deals with the detection of open cracks in beam structures that undergo
transverse vibrations. The investigation is aimed at detecting the location of open cracks in …

In this paper, a vibration response parameter known as spectral strain energy (SSE) is
proposed for structural damage identification in plate-like structures in the context of a non …

Vibration-based damage detection (VBDD) methods use damage-induced changes to the
dynamic properties of a structure to detect, locate, and sometimes quantify the extent of …

Modal flexibility is a robust and promising damage index for constructed facilities. However,
the classical‐flexibility methods are still unable to provide the required accuracy and …

This thesis addresses the experimental and numerical study of vibration-based damage
detection (VBDD) techniques in structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridge …

Novel approaches are presented for structural damage detection that use virtual passive
controllers attached to structures, where passive controllers are energy dissipative devices …
