Deploying Optimal Number of Sensors and Damage Detection in Structural Health Monitoring Using SEM-GA Method
Abstract: Detecting damages is the most important criterion in any engineering creation—be it a machine or a building. Among the engineering creation, civil engineering structures need a continuous monitoring to check their operations, performance and the health status of the structures. Damage detection cannot be done manually every time. Automated systems have to be developed in order to monitor the health of the structure periodically. Hence, structural health monitoring (SHM) aims …
