Signal Processing is, arguably, the fundamental enabling technology for vibration-based
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), which includes damage detection and more advanced …

Pultruded FRP composites have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional materials
like concrete, steel, and timber, especially in corrosive environmental conditions. However …

Abstract The Extreme Function Theory (EFT) offers a convenient tool for mode shape-based
damage detection. When coupled with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), this statistical …

For economic and environmental reasons, the use of renewable energy sources is a key
aspect of the ongoing transition to a sustainable industrialised society. Wind energy …

Bayesian optimization is a sample efficient sequential global optimization method for black-
box, expensive and multi-extremal functions. It generates, and keeps updated, a …

Abstract Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) are innovative structural elements that
are experiencing a steady increase in use for different structural applications. Due to their …

Featured Application The use of Wiener Entropy for the detection, localization, and severity
assessment of a multi-damaged structure is presented. The method is discussed and then …

Cure-induced deformations are inevitable in pultruded composite profiles due to the
peculiarities of the pultrusion process and usually require the use of costly shimming …

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites in general, and especially glass fibre-reinforced
polymer (GFRP), have increasingly been used in recent decades in construction. The …

The presence of faults is common in engineering composite structures. Precise detection of
faults prior to failure has been the focal point for researchers working in this domain …
