In this work, a finite element simulation of a commercial thermoelectric cell, working as a
cooling heat pump, is presented. The specially developed finite element is three …

To avoid the false positives of damages in the deterministic identification method induced by
uncertainties in measurement noise, a probabilistic method is proposed to identify damages …

Combining several theories this paper presents a general multiphysics framework applied to
the study of coupled and active materials, considering mechanical, electric, magnetic and …

Composites are high performance advanced materials with a growing applicability due to
their extreme strength, rigidity to weight ratios. However, usual kinds of damage are hardly …

An optimization of the excitation–measurement configuration is proposed for the
characterization of damage in PZT-4 piezoelectric plates, from a numerical point of view. To …

Polynomial chaos expansion with Latin Hypercube sampling is used to study the effect of
material uncertainty on vibration control of a smart composite plate with piezoelectric …

A new reconstruction approach that combines Reverse Time Migration (RTM) and Genetic
Algorithms (GAs) is proposed for solving the inverse problem associated with transluminal …

This article addresses uncertainty effect on the health monitoring of a smart structure using
control gain shifts as damage indicators. A finite element model of the smart composite plate …

This work presents a finite-element study of the Debye memory in piezoelectric devices. The
memory dependence is due to the spontaneous polarization of the electric dipoles, and it …

Recently, an innovative algorithm has been proposed by the authors for the identification of
structural damage under unknown external excitations. However, identification accuracy of …
