The damage indicator is the change of neutral axis (NA) which is tracked using Kalman Filter (KF). Based on the level of damage to be detected and the probability of occurrence of false positive and false negative detections, a threshold value is selected. This threshold is then applied to...
The joints, which contain a series of steel bolts, play a key role in interconnecting the adjacent segments and transferring loads, including axial force, shear force, and the bending moment. Numerical simulations and loading experiments show that the weakest links in the entire structure are the...
