Offshore Wind has become the most profitable renewable energy source due to the
remarkable development it has experienced in Europe over the last decade. In this paper, a …

A comprehensive review on modal parameter-based damage identification methods for
beam-or plate-type structures is presented, and the damage identification algorithms in …

A great many computational algorithms developed over the past half-century have been
motivated or suggested by biological systems or processes, the most well-known being the …

Genetic algorithms have been the subject of considerable interest in recent years, since they
appear to provide a robust search procedure for solving difficult problems. Due to the way …

In this article a new technique is proposed for calculating natural frequencies of a vibrating
beam with an arbitrary finite number of transverse open cracks. The main feature of this …

The structural health monitoring (SHM) approach plays a key role not only in structural
engineering but also in other various engineering disciplines by evaluating the safety and …

In this study, exact closed-form expressions for the vibration modes of the Euler–Bernoulli
beam in the presence of multiple concentrated cracks are presented. The proposed …

An hybrid real-coded Genetic Algorithm with damage penalization is implemented to locate
and quantify structural damage. Genetic Algorithms provide a powerful tool to solved …

A method for detection of multiple open cracks in a slender Euler–Bernoulli beams is
presented based on frequency measurements. The method is based on the approach given …

Non-destructive structural damage identification can be carried out using the difference
between a structure's characteristics before and after a catastrophic event. An approach is to …
