Laminated composites received great attention in the structural applications due to
innumerable advantages over conventional materials. These structures are subjected to …

Vibration-based damage detection techniques, and particularly frequency and modal-based
methods, address the problem of localization and quantification of damage in a structure by …

This paper presents a new damage detection index for arched structures, which can easily
and quickly provide an estimate of their integrity. The results from eight laboratory tests …

This paper investigates the in-plane linear dynamic behaviour of multi-stepped and multi-
damaged circular arches under different boundary conditions. Cracked cross-sections are …

This paper investigates damage identification techniques based on the difference of modal
frequencies, shapes and curvatures in the damaged and undamaged states of the structure …

Damage, be it a material or a geometric degradation, modifies some features of the
response foreseen by the original structural design. These variations, once the dependence …

The dynamics of a parabolic arch is studied in its undamaged and damaged states. The
damage consists of a notch that reduces the height of the cross section at a given abscissa …

The effects of a single-edge crack and its locations on the buckling loads, natural
frequencies and dynamic stability of circular curved beams are investigated numerically …

In recent years, significant efforts have been devoted to developing non-destructive
techniques for damage identification in structures. Damage detection techniques based on …

The vibration response of a full-scale polycentric near parabolic tuff barrel vault under
differential settlements of the abutments are experimentally analyzed. During the …
