Modeling and Estimation of Structural Damage PDF

Modelling and Estimation of Damage in Structures is a comprehensiveguide to solving the type of modelling and estimation problems associated with the physics of structural damage.

• Provides a model-based approach to damage identification
• Presents an in-depth treatment of probability theory and random processes
• Covers both theory and algorithms for implementing maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation approaches
• Includes experimental examples of all detection and identification approaches
• Provides a clear means by which acquired data can be used to make decisions regarding maintenance and usage of a structure
