Structural damage detection using principal component analysis and damage indices [PDF]
One of the most important tasks in structural health monitoring corresponds to damage detection. In this task, the existence of damage should be determined. In the literature, several potentially useful techniques for damage detection can be found, and their applicability to a particular situation depends on the size of the critical damages that are ...

A fuzzy logic-based damage identification method for simply-supported bridge using modal shape ratios [PDF]
A fuzzy logic system (FLS) is established for damage identification of simply supported bridge. A novel damage indicator is developed based on ratios of mode shape components between before and after damage.

Entropy characterisation of overstressed capacitors for lifetime prediction [PDF]
We propose a method to monitor the ageing and damage of capacitors based on their irreversible entropy generation rate. We overstressed several electrolytic capacitors in the range of 33 µF–100 µF and monitored their entropy generation rate View the ...

A modified mode shape data-based method for beams structural damage detection
Damage detection methods based on changing modal parameters have received considerable attention in engineering applications due to the satisfactory results and the low associated cost compared with other techniques. The Mode Shape Data Based Indicator (

Non-linear Damage Classification based on Machine Learning and Damage Indices
The use of guided wave-based approaches presents some advantages in the structural inspection and damage identification processes. It is driven by the fact that these waves can propagate over relatively long distances and are able to interact sensitively with and uniquely with different types of defects, however, its use in Structural Health Monitoring

Plant traits associated with resistance to Thrips tabaci in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) [PDF]
Thrips tabaci is a major problem in the cultivation of cabbage for storage, as this pest causes symptoms that necessitate the removal of affected leaves from the product. Between cabbage varieties large differences in susceptibility occur.

Monitoring the effects of impact damages on modal parameters in carbon fiber entangled sandwich beams [PDF]
The aim is to study the impact toughness of two types of entangled sandwich materials (heavy and light) with the help of vibration testing. A simple case of symmetrical impacts is studied in this article as no literature is available regarding impact ...
