This dissertation studies the feasibility of change and damage detection in urban environments using the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging technology. SAR is an active sensor and capable to provide high-resolution images in all weather and all time conditions. It shows prom…

Structural health monitoring systems have a great potential for cost saving and safety improvement in different types of structures. One of the most important tasks of these systems is to identify damage at an early stage of its development. A variety of methods may be used to i…

Structural health and safety play a major role in all facets of human daily lives. Over the past few decades significant advancements have been made in structural damage detection and health management in a wide range of engineering disciplines and practices, including but not l…

This dissertation presents a novel “Intelligent Parameter Varying” (IPV) health monitoring and damage detection technique that accurately detects the existence, location, and time of damage occurrence without any assumptions about the constitutive nature of structural non-linear…

This thesis investigates the development of ultrasonic Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems, based on guided waves propagation, for the localization of low-velocity impacts and the detection of damage mechanisms in isotropic and anisotropic structures. For the identi- cati…
