Real-Time Structural Health Monitoring of Vibrating Systems

This book presents a detailed theoretical and experimental treatment of real-time techniques for continuous monitoring of vibrating structures. Focus on real time algorithms, data reduction methods and inverse techniques in this book enable rapid identification of the structural parameters, affected by damage or causes.
