Damage Detection in CFRP Plates Using Spectral Entropy by E. Castro, P. Moreno-García, A. Gallego

“…This paper studies the viability of the spectral entropy as a new damage detection parameter to detect the presence of damage in a composite fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) plate. To carry out this study, the vibrations in a CFRP plate with and without damage were measured and the correlation between damage and spectral entropy has been researched.…”
