Two algorithms are proposed for estimating member constitutive properties of a finite-
element model with known geometry and topology from measured displacements under a …

A structural damage identification algorithm using static test data and changes in natural
frequencies is presented in this paper. To locate damage in the structure, the Damage …

A structural damage detection algorithm using static test data is presented in this paper.
Changes in the static response of a structure are characterized as a set of non-linear …

The displacement responses of a civil engineering structure can provide important
information regarding structural behaviors that help in assessing safety and serviceability. A …

Material damage in structures must be detected in a timely manner to prevent engineering
accidents. Damage detection based on structural flexibility has attracted widespread …

A method for identifying the element properties of a truss is developed in this paper. The
measured natural frequencies and modal shapes of the truss are used in the identification …

This research focuses on the analysis of measurements from distributed sensing of
structures. The premise is that ambient temperature variations, and hence the temperature …

This paper deals with the identification of a single crack in a beam based on the knowledge
of the damage-induced variations in the static deflection of the beam. The crack is simulated …

The importance of improving the understanding of the performance of structures over their
lifetime under uncertainty with information obtained from structural health monitoring (SHM) …

Measurements are increasingly used to augment traditional assessments of structural state.
Measurements of deflections, rotations, and strain provide indications of damages as well as …
