Abstract: A computationally attractive algorithm is developed to provide an insight to the location and extent of structural damage. The algorithm makes use of an original finite element model and a ...

Abstract: Most active control strategies, whether designed in the discrete or continuous domain, will most likely be implemented using a digital control system. Therefore, it is important to study the ...

Abstract: Several system identification algorithms have been proposed that make use of analytical models and measured modal data to determine the location and/or extent of structural damage. In particular, ...

Abstract: A finite time, minimum force rate-feedback-threshold controller is developed to bring a system with or without known external disturbances back into an “allowable” state bound in finite time. ...

Abstract: In this work, linear matrix inequality (LMI) methods are proposed for computationally efficient solution of damage detection problems in structures. The structural damage detection problem that ...

Abstract: In this paper, algorithmic approaches to enhance structural health monitoring capability when faced with incomplete measurements are addressed. The incomplete measurement problem has two aspects: ...
