One of the most important requirements in the evaluation of existing structural systems and
ensuring a safe performance during their service life is damage assessment. Damage can …

For 20 years of development, the virtual distortion method (VDM) has proved to be a
versatile reanalysis tool in various applications, including structures and truss-like systems …

The structural design for dynamic loads is still a challenge, particularly in the case of impact
loads, which demand a very quick dynamic analysis to model the structural response. There …

The paper is a continuation of research on the application of a structural reanalysis method—
the virtual distortion method—to structural health monitoring. The first approach, formulated …

A health monitoring tool for leakage identification in water networks is presented. It is
assumed that the water heads at the network's nodes can be measured in different locations …

This article presents two approaches for structural damage identification, each based on a
different philosophy. The virtual distortion method (VDM) is a model-updating method of …

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a fast-developing, interdisciplinary field of research
having its roots in vibroacoustics and non-destructive testing and evaluation. Fast …

The basic premise of vibration-based damage detection in Structural Health Monitoring is
that the damage will alter the stiffness, mass or energy dissipation properties of a system …

Virtual Distortion Method, a numerical technique originally developed and applied to various
optimization problems in structural mechanics, is adapted to DC/AC circuit analysis. Electro …

This paper describes tlhe application of a structural reanalysis technique called the Virtual
Distortion Method, coupled with an optimisation technique called the Gradient Projection …
