Modeling and Estimation of Structural Damage

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 identificationPresents an in-depth treatment of probability theory and random processesCovers both theory and algorithms for implementing maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation approachesIncludes experimental examples of all detection and identification approachesProvides a clear means by which acquired data can be used to make decisions regarding maintenance and usage of a structure
