In the last few decades nanofibers have been developed and introduced in a vast number of
industrial and research applications. One of their most effective use is as interleaved …

Abstract Today, the Structural Health Monitorin (SHM) methodology is the main way to deal
with the detection and identification of damages in a range of engineering sectors, mainly in …

Bridge health monitoring is a very important part for infrastructure maintenance. Traditional
bridge health monitoring techniques require sensors to be installed on bridges, which is …

Deep learning models can autonomously learn discriminative features from the data;
however, insufficient training data often limit their use. This paper proposes a synthetic data …

Monitoring the mass of liquid absorption in laminated composite structures, that have a
direct contact surface with working liquid-like pipes, is very important in order to prevent the …

A novel method is proposed in this paper for simultaneously locating and quantifying
damage in composite plates by employing Lamb waves and the algorithm of convolution …

Optimization is an essential tool to minimize or maximize functions, obtaining optimal results
on costs, mass, energy, gains, among others. Actual problems may be multimodal …

This study focuses on identifying damage in reinforced concrete (RC) beams using time-
domain modal testing and wavelet analysis. A numerical model of an RC beam was used to …

Laminated composites constitute a crucial family of advanced materials for the development
of high-performance components. A classic challenge with this composite family is …

Linear ultrasonics methods based on the principle of reflection, transmission, dissipation of
sound waves have been traditionally used to detect delaminations in composite structures …
