Opis

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

Modeling and Estimation of Structural Damage comprehensively provides modelling and estimation tools required for the detection and identification of structural damage. Essential probabilistic and deterministic modelling tools are rigorously developed and supported with examples. Decision theory is also introduced.
