Line-type damage is abundant in engineering structures that have been in service for a long
time. Vibration-based nondestructive testing as a global method has been extensively used …

In structural health monitoring (SHM), damage detection is a final target to know the real
status of the objective structure. Vibration-based damage detection is a commonly used …

Damage detection is of great importance in reducing maintenance cost and preventing
collapse of structures. Despite existing damage detection methods, the current literature …

Laminated composite structures suffer from delamination, the detachment of the layers due
to the rupture of the fiber-matrix interface, as their principal mode of failure. In contrast to …

This study identifies a method for detection of irregularities such as open cracks or grooves
on a rotating stepped shaft with multiple discs, based on the wavelet transforms. Cracks are …

In this work, a comparative analysis between Gaussian and Golden wavelets is presented.
These wavelets are generated by the derivative of specific base functions. In this case, the …

This work embarks on an exploration of piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH), seeking to
unravel its potential and practicality. PEH has emerged as a promising technology in the …

This work presents an approach for optimal placement of strain sensors in composite
circular cylindrical shells. The approach uses numerical strain values in longitudinal and …

This study performs a substantial statistical analysis on the effects of damage characteristics,
such as position and severity, on a specific damage metric composed of coefficients …

Composite structures are susceptible to sudden failures due their complex modes of failure.
One of these modes is delamination, the detachment of the layers due to the rupture in the …
