A critical review of key developments and latest advances in Structural Health Monitoring
technologies applied to civil engineering structures, covering all aspects required for …

Vibration based condition monitoring refers to the use of in situ non-destructive sensing and
analysis of system characteristics–in the time, frequency or modal domains–for the purpose …

The sensitivity of general dynamic response of a structure with respect to a perturbation in a
parameter of a dynamic system is addressed in this paper. The sensitivities of response of …

An approach for structural damage detection using the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm
with hybrid search strategy based on modal data is presented. More search strategies are …

This paper addresses the problem of identification of damage locations for plate-like
structures using strain mode technique. Based on the Rayleigh–Ritz approach, the strain …

By identifying parameters such as stiffness values of a structural system, the numerical
model can be updated to give more accurate response prediction or to monitor the state of …

An effective method for detecting cracks in plate structures based on fractal dimension
analysis is presented in this paper. The method is applied to the simulated fundamental …

An effective algorithm, which combined an adaptive real-parameter genetic algorithm with
simulated annealing, is proposed to detect damage occurrence in beam-type structures. The …

Vibration based structural health monitoring methods are usually dependent on the first
several orders of modal information, such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and the …

In this paper, a two-dimensional wavelet transform is used for identification of cracks in plate
structures. The vibration mode of a cracked plate is transformed to the wavelet domain and …
