Recurring expenses associated with preventative maintenance and inspection produce
operational inefficiencies and unnecessary spending. Human inspectors may submit …

Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous dam** in his classic work" The Theory
of Sound" in 1877, it has become standard practice to use this approach in dynamics …

This article focuses on Bayesian Lamb wave-based damage localization in structural health
monitoring of anisotropic composite materials. A Bayesian framework is applied to take …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), ie the action of monitoring structures in real-
time and in an automated manner, is a major challenge in several industrial fields such as …

Although considerable experience has been gained in model updating, the critical issues
that remain are the choice of parameters and how to deal with ill-conditioning. Although a …

This paper deals with the application of a model reduction method to the updating of models
of industrial structures with many degrees of freedom. The updating method is based on the …

This paper presents an experimental procedure for the axial load identification of slender
prismatic beams with unknown boundary conditions by making use of one vibration …

Rubber modeling is an old subject and so many models exist that it is difficult to have a clear
vision of what exists and is more appropriate. Rather than attempting a standard review, this …

This paper presents a 4-node facet type quadrangular shell finite element, based on a
layerwise theory, developed for dynamic modelling of laminated structures with viscoelastic …

This paper deals with the experimental identification and the validation of a non-parametric
probabilistic approach allowing model uncertainties and data uncertainties to be taken into …
