For the monitoring of plate structures, phased array guided wave has great application
prospects to effectively determine damage location and size. Locating damage via phased …

The field of structural engineering is vast, spanning areas from the design of new
infrastructure to the assessment of existing infrastructure. From the onset, traditional entry …

Identification of damage in its early stage can have a great contribution in decreasing the
maintenance costs and prolonging the life of valuable structures. Although conventional …

Currently, structures are examined during manufacturing by means of Non Destructive Tests
(NDT), but there is an increasing interest in monitoring its integrity over its whole life cycle by …

This paper proposes the use of a physics-based Bayesian framework for the localization and
identification of damage in composite beam structures using ultrasonic guided-waves. The …

In this paper, the use of a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (ϕ-OTDR)
sensor for the detection of the Lamb waves excited by a piezoelectric transducer in an …

Abstract The Comet Interceptor space mission, selected by ESA in June 2019 as the first F-
Class mission, will study a dynamically new comet or an interstellar object by a unique multi …

Lamb wave receiver arrays are commonly utilized in nondestructive testing (NDT) and
structural health monitoring (SHM) systems to enhance the identification and localization …

Damage detection in structural health monitoring of metallic or composite structures
depends on several factors, including the sensor technology and the type of defect that is …

The early detection of small cracks in large metal structures is a crucial requirement for the
implementation of a structural health monitoring (SHM) system with a low transducers …
