Vibro-impact (VI) based control strategies exploit non-linear phenomena occurring during impacts between oscillating masses and vibrating structures to mitigate vibrations. They are known be effective on a wide frequency range, in harsh environnement, they eco-friendly comparison some visco-elastic polymers used for the same application. Different assumptions emerge explain energy dissipation s...

Abstract Digital Image Correlation technique (DIC) is a non-contact optical method for rapid structural health monitoring of critical infrastructure. DIC used to extract Moment (M) – Curvature (κ) relationships using random speckle patterns. The pattern evaluated 2D measurements and shows an improved correlation with conventional measurements. Characteristics patterns are quantified their appli...
