It is critical to use scientific methods track the performance degradation of in-service buildings over time and avoid accidents. In recent years, both supervised unsupervised learning have yielded positive results in structural health monitoring (SHM). Supervised approaches require data from entire structure various damage scenarios for training. However, it impractical obtain adequate trainin...

With demand for the long-term continued use of existing building facilities, structural health monitoring and damage detection are attracting interest from society. Sensors various types have been practically applied in industry to satisfy this need. Among sensors, piezoelectric sensors an extremely promising technology by virtue their cost advantages durability. Although they used aerospace ci...

One of the difficulties of the vibration-based damage identification methods is the nonuniqueness of the results of damage identification. The different damage locations and severity may cause the identical response signal, which is even more severe for detection of the multiple damage. This paper proposes a new strategy for damage detection to avoid this nonuniqueness. This strategy firstly de...

Non-contact measurement offers convenient and less expensive setup. Sometimes, they may also be the only resort because the structure is too small to be instrumented with contact sensors and/or the additional mass of the sensor is too large to use. In other cases, the structure is inaccessible due to obstruction for the case of tall/large structures such as bridges or towers. The digital imagin...

Modal strain energy (MSE) is a sensitive physical property that can be utilized as a damage index in structural health monitoring. Inverse problem solvingbased approaches using single-objective optimization algorithms are also a promising damage identification method. However, the research into the integration of these methods is currently limited; only partial success in the detection of struc...

Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is a posttranslational modification predominantly synthesized by PAR polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in genome maintenance. PARP-1 detects DNA damage, and damage detection is coupled to a massive increase PAR production, primarily attached to PARP-1 (automodification). Automodified PARP-1 then recruits repair factors to DNA damage sites. PARP-1 automodification eventually leads to ...

Damage identification under real operating conditions of the structure during its daily use would be suitable and attractive to civil engineers due to the difficulty and problems of carrying out controlled forced excitation tests on this kind of structures. In this case, output-only response measurements would be available, and an output-only damage identification procedure should be implemente...

Despite advances in health monitoring systems, the certification process for automated SHM systems remain rooted in the probability of detection (POD). POD is a fundamental part of the certification process, however, it is not the only measure of system validity. The process to certify a system must contain measures of accuracy and reliability. Disclosing the accuracy and reliability at the tim...
