Damage Models and Algorithms for Assessment of Structures under Operating Conditions

Exceptionally useful in monitoring structuring health, Assessment of Structures Under Operating Conditions: Damage Models and Algorithms provides the suitable algorithms to convert collected data in order to gain knowledge of the condition of an infrastructure for maintenance scheduling purposes. It addresses developments in time response series and its derivatives including the wavelet-based impulse response function and also discusses loads on the structure (vehicular load, the ground micro tremor and ambient random excitation from the supports) in the conditions assessment. The treatment of uncertainties and the study of their propagation in the inverse problem of structural condition assessment are also discussed.
