Structural Health Monitoring

Abstract

This article presents the WaveFormRevealer—an analytical framework and predictive tool for the simulation of guided Lamb wave propagation and interaction with damage. The theory of inserting damage effects into the analytical model is addressed, including ...

Abstract

Carbon nanotube thread has shown strong promise to be built into or onto composite materials for strain and damage monitoring via the material’s piezoresistive property. It has been found that a distinguishing feature of sensing thread incorporated in ...

Abstract

The performance of guided wave imaging strategies used in Structural Health Monitoring relies on the accurate knowledge of mechanical properties for proper damage detection and localization. In order to increase the performance and robustness of such ...

Abstract

An integrated experimental and numerical investigation of fatigue damage diagnosis in composite plates is presented in this study. First, the fatigue testing setup for carbon–carbon composite coupons is described with corresponding health monitoring ...

Abstract

A damage detection scheme for multiple crack detection in beams is presented, based on a transfer matrix derived from beam element with two cracks. Based on fracture mechanics principles, a crack is modelled as a hinge, which provides an additional ...

Abstract

Early detection of leakages in hydraulic infrastructures is important to ensure their safety and security. Significant flow of water through the dike can be an indicator of internal erosion and results in a thermal anomaly. Temperature measurements are ...
