... based on the structural Markov parameters but does not necessitate costly calculations related to natural frequencies and mode shapes, making it highly attractive for structural damage detection and health monitoring applications. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity...

...Ka-Veng Yuen; Lambros S. Katafygiotis; Costas Papadimitriou; Neil C. Mickleborough A methodology is presented for designing cost-effective optimal sensor configurations for structural model updating and health monitoring purposes. The optimal sensor configuration is selected such that the resulting...
