Optimal sensors placement for damage detection of beam structures
This paper is dedicated to the identifiability of vibrating beam structures with uncertain damages. The probability of damage occurrence is computed assuming a Gaussian distributed random damage parameter. Then, we propose a technique for selecting an optimized solution of sensors placement based on the comparison among the probability of damage occurrence and the probability to detect the damage, where the latter is evaluated exploiting the closed-form asymptotic solution provided by a perturbation approach.
