Piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) transducers, which can be surface-mounted on or embedded in structures, are widely used for structural health monitoring. Since they are only sensitive to cracks nearby, the use of ones pasted on structures' surfaces may not be able to detect accurately the deep damages especially in large size structures. Therefore, the embedded PZT transducers display more advantages...
Damage diagnosis and health monitoring of large-scale structures are becoming a hot research subject in the present structural engineering circle. Elman neural network is presented to identify and locate the crack damage of a radial gate located in the middle reaches of the main stream of the Jialing River. This method is an aggregation neural networks and pattern identification. And also make the...
Wind turbine blades are the key component of wind turbine. The blades may be damaged by fatigue, wind gusts, or lightening strikes. It is important to detect the damage before the blade catastrophically fails, which could destroy the entire wind turbine. In this paper, a new method is presented for damage diagnosis on wind turbine blades which is developed based on the distance classification rules...
