What is it about?

In inverse methods of damage detection, it is generally assumed that the damage values and imperfect vibrational information are predefined scenarios. In fact, imperfect vibrational information is obtained based on acquired data from installed sensors on real structures. Then the location and intensity value of damage is calculated using inverse optimisation methods. In this paper, a two-stage method is proposed to eliminate the assumed imperfection of the first stage and accurately calculate its required damage information using a numerical–experimental method.
