Detection, Localization, and Quantification of Damage in Structures via Artificial Neural Networks by Daniele Kauctz Monteiro, Letícia Fleck Fadel Miguel, Gustavo Zeni, Tiago Becker, Giovanni Souza de Andrade, Rodrigo Rodrigues de Barros

“…This paper presents a structural health monitoring method based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) capable of detecting, locating, and quantifying damage in a single stage. The proposed framework employs a supervised neural network model that uses input factors calculated by modal parameters (natural frequencies or mode shapes), and output factors that represent the damage situation of elements or regions in a structural system. …”

Influence of Incremental Impact on the Damage of Coal-Rock under Unidirectional Constraint by Hongbao Zhao, Huan Zhang, Jinyu Li, Nansong Ju, Zhijie Wen

“…Meanwhile, the influence of constant impulse on the damage degree of coal-rock was compared. The results show that the damage degree of coal-rock increases with the increase of the impulse, and the damage fitting curve is upward concave, indicating that the coal sample tends to accelerating failure. …”
