With global warming and the depletion of fossil energy sources, renewable energy is
gradually replacing non-renewable energy as the main energy in the future. As one of the …

Blades are critical components in wind turbines (WTs) for power generation, and condition
monitoring (CM) of WT blades is a crucial and challenging issue under operating conditions …

Blades are one of the most important components, in terms of capital and operational costs,
of wind turbines. In contrast with some other elements of the turbine, the knowledge …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been increasingly exploited in recent years as a
valuable tool for assessing performance throughout the life cycle of structural systems, as …

A supervised learning scheme is proposed for detecting, locating, and quantifying the
intensity of damage in structures using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Proper …

Abstract Changes in the vibration responses of wind turbine blades (WTBs) can be used to
detect the presence of damages. However, constantly changing environmental …

We propose a simulation-based decision strategy for the proactive maintenance of complex
structures with a particular application to structural health monitoring (SHM). The strategy is …
