Condition monitoring of rail transport systems has become a phenomenon of global interest
over the past half a century. The approaches to condition monitoring of various rail transport …

The mobility applications of laminated composites are constantly expanding due to their
improved mechanical properties and superior strength-to-weight ratio. Such advancements …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials are recently widely applied in the marine industry.
The high popularity of composites and safety requirements results in the development of …

Vibration monitoring from strain data is a promising alternative to the more conventional
acceleration-based monitoring because a dense measurement grid can be achieved at a …

Modal analysis is a dynamic response-based experimental structural identification
procedure widely used for condition assessment and structural health monitoring (SHM) …

Modal curvatures have been claimed to contain local information on damage and to be less
sensitive to environmental variables than natural frequencies. However, simply using the …

Vibration-based structural health monitoring of civil structures relies on the repeated
identification of dynamic structural characteristics of the structure from output-only vibration …

Natural frequencies are probably the most widely used modal characteristics in vibration-
based monitoring. However, they can be highly influenced by temperature and this influence …

Corrosion is one of the most frequently occurring problems in reinforced concrete (RC)
structures. The formation of rust products results in deterioration processes that decrease the …

Prognostics and health management (PHM) is an enabling technology essential for the safe
operation and conditional maintenance of any engineering system. Over the past two …
