Identification of defects in structures and its components is a crucial aspect in decision
making about their repair and total replacement. Failure to detect the faults has various …

In this paper, a technique is presented for the detection and localization of an open crack in
beam-like structures using experimentally measured natural frequencies and the Particle …

Structures are weakened by cracks. When the crack size increases in course of time, the
structure becomes weaker than its previous condition. Finally, the structure may breakdown …

In this paper, the structural system identification technique is reviewed. The focus of this
paper is to review mainly the state of art on damage detection techniques particularly, in …

This paper deals with detection of macro-level crack type damage in rectangular E-Glass
fiber/Epoxy resin (LY556) laminated composite plates using modal analysis. Composite …

In this article, a methodology is proposed that can be used to predict the crack growth and
fatigue life of a cantilever beam made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) manufactured …

Plates play an important part in various structures. In this study, a damage detection method
is proposed to identify damages in plate-type structures, which is based on frequency …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the impact response of ballastless railway
tracks and to study the feasibility of using the impact-echo method for the detection of typical …

As one of major failure modes of mechanical structures subjected to periodic loads, edge
cracks due to fatigue can cause catastrophic failures in such structures. Understanding …

Vibration-based structural health monitoring of reinforced concrete structures gained a lot of
interest among the research community in recent years to develop modern methods of …
