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 …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of uncertainties involved in flight vehicle
structural damage monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis and control. Uncertainties can cause …

Fuzzy logic refers to a large subject dealing with a set of methods to characterize and
quantify uncertainty in engineering systems that arise from ambiguity, imprecision, fuzziness …

The Zhanjiang Bay Bridge, located in an inner gulf of South China, is a cable stayed bridge
with a main span of 480 m. An analysis on the thermal effects experienced by the bridge is …

Model updating procedures are applied in order to improve the matching between
experimental data and corresponding model output. The updated, ie improved, finite …

In the past three decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has attracted considerable
attention. The great achievements in theoretical study and the engineering applications of …

Damage pattern recognition research represents one of the most challenging tasks in
structural health monitoring (SHM). The vagueness in defining damage and the significant …

In this paper, we describe the possible use of hermal contact resistance measured under
ambient conditions as a non-destructive feature to monitor L-shape bolted joints. We …

The purpose of this work is the development of an efficient and high‐sensitive damage
localization technique for truss structures, based on the rank‐revealing QR decomposition …

Bolted joints are important parts for aerospace structures. However, there is a significant risk
associated with assembling bolted joints due to potential human error during the assembly …
