During the past decades, significant efforts have been dedicated to develop reliable
methods in structural health monitoring. The health assessment for the target structure of …

Structural health monitoring and damage detection techniques are tools of great importance
in the off-shore, civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering communities, both for safety …

The development of a methodology for accurate and reliable condition assessment of civil
structures has become very important. The finite element (FE) model updating method …

A technique to localize damage in structures that can be treated as linear in the pre-and
postdamage states is presented. Central to the approach is the computation of a set of …

The vibration-based structural health monitoring problem is addressed as the double task of
detecting damages modelled as changes in the eigenstructure of a linear dynamic system …

The FE model updating method can be used to identify unknown structural parameters and
determine structural damage. The method consists in minimizing the discrepancies between …

A method for vibration-based damage localization and quantification, based on quasi-static
flexibility, is presented. The experimentally determined flexibility matrix is combined with a …

Smart sensors densely distributed over structures can provide rich information for structural
monitoring using their onboard wireless communication and computational capabilities …

Localization of damage from changes in flexibility in structures identified from operational or
ambient vibration has long been hindered by the fact that the flexibility cannot be extracted …

In recent years, numerous approaches have been proposed for detecting damage in
structures, in which the flexibility-based damage locating vector (DLV) method is one of the …
