Structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have been studied for several years. An
effective approach for SHM is to choose the parameters that are sensitive to the damage …

Structural damage identification based on finite element (FE) model updating has been a
research direction of increasing interest over the last decade in the mechanical, civil …

Ultrasonic guided waves have been extensively employed for characterising structural
damage thanks to their sensitivity to defects. Although they are easy to excite and acquire …

In the current investigation, an innovative time-domain damage index is introduced for the
first time which is based on local statistical features of the waveform. This damage index is …

Response surface methodology (RSM) has been proven applicable for updating finite
element baseline models. Most RSM-based damage detection methods are frequency …

Researchers have recently gained interest in ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) for structural
health monitoring (SHM). This interest has mainly grown thanks to the high sensitivity of …

Structural damage detection methods based on vibration responses are appealing for a
variety of reasons such as their potential to observe damage from sensors placed remote …

Unknown input excitation and local damages universally coexist in a practical situation.
Therefore, in this paper a structural damage identification method based on the …

In this work numerical and experimental study of the vibration of laminated beams with
damage, subjected to dynamic loading and temperature variations is presented. The goal of …

In this paper a new damage index for detection and location of damage is introduced. It is
improved version of the earlier developed Poincaré map method based on forced response …
