Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses the experimental and numerical
study of vibration-based damage detection (VBDD)
techniques in structural health monitoring (SHM) of
bridge superstructures. VBDD techniques are global
non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. The
advantage of VBDD techniques over local NDE
techniques is that VBDD techniques can assess the
condition of an entire structure at once and are not
limited to accessible components.
The experiments on a half-scale, simply supported
steel-free bridge deck and two full-scale, simply
supported prestressed concrete girders demonstrated
that small scale damage at different locations can
be reliably detected and located by VBDD techniques
using a relatively small number of sensors
(accelerometers or strain gauges).
Both experimental and numerical studies demonstrate
that VBDD techniques are a promising tool for
structural health monitoring of bridges.
This book should be useful to professionals in
structural health monitoring, non-destructive
evaluation techniques, and dynamic test and
analysis, or anyone else who is interested in the
VBDD techniques or dynamic test and analysis.
