Abstract:An emerging trend in modern structure design is the combination of structures and sensors in order to measure environmental conditions and to evaluate structural integrity. One possible approach of this Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) paradigm is based on ultrasonic guided waves or Lamb waves. These elastic waves interact with damages inside the structure and the evaluation of their echo response permits damage identification and localization. Typical applications are rotor blades of wind turbines made of G… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
