In this paper, a methodology for the detection and localization of damages in composite
pultruded members is proposed. This is particularly relevant to thin‐walled pultruded …

The process of manufacturing pultruded FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers) profiles involves
unavoidable imperfections that affect their structural performances. This is is even more …

This study shows a procedure for the identification of the mechanical characteristics and
dynamic parameters of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) pultruded elements. The …

A statistical procedure is presented for monitoring the damage of pultruded specimens using
vibration data. Pultruded composite samples are processed by using continuous glass fiber …

When small damage is detected in its initial stage in a real structure, it is necessary to decide
if the user must repair immediately or keep on safely monitoring it. Regarding the second …

The continuous development of new materials and larger and/or more complex structures
drives the need for the development of more robust, accurate, and sensitive Structural …

This work aims at the precise assessment of a recently introduced method that, in addition to
damage detection, allows for complete and accurate damage identification (localization) and …

Nowadays the topic of damage identification in structures is of primary interest in the field of
civil, aerospace, mechanical engineering research. Indeed, due to the increasing use of …

After detecting initial delamination damage in a hotspot region of a composite structure
monitored through a data-driven approach, the user needs to decide if there is an imminent …

Online damage detection technologies could reduce the weight of structures by allowing the
use of less conservative margins of safety. They are also associated with high economical …
