A new energy indicator in damage locating vector method (DLV) for detecting multiple damaged positions in beam and truss structures by Nguyen Minh Nhan, Dinh Cong Du, Vo Duy Trung, Tran Viet Anh, Nguyen Thoi Trung

“…In the DLV method, a set of load vectors, which is extracted from the change in flexibility matrix between an undamaged structure and a damaged one, is applied as static loads to the undamaged structure which are evaluated via the finite element modeling.  Then, the nei values are computed for each element by using the displacements. …”

Analysis of inductive power transfer systems by metamodeling techniques by Pei, Yao, Pichon, Lionel, Bensetti, Mohamed, Le Bihan, Yann

“…So, it is meaningful to find a metamodeling technique to quickly evaluate the system’s performances. According to the comparison of Support Vector Regression, Multigene Genetic Programming Algorithm, and sparse Polynomial Chaos Expansions (PCE), sparse PCE is recommended for the analysis due to the tradeoff between the computational time and the accuracy of the metamodel.…”
