Assessment of the condition of a beam using a static loading test

Walsh, Brian J. ; González, Arturo (Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2009-05)

This paper presents a novel approach for structural damage detection. The cross-entropy method is used to estimate the structural parameters of a simply supported beam from its response to a static load consisting of a ...
Finite Element Model Updating Using Cross-Entrophy

Dowling, Jason ; González, Arturo ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Walsh, Brian J. (BCRI, 2010)

This paper presents the potential of the cross-entropy method to surmise the properties of a simply supported beam using as input the response of the structure to a moving load. The beam model is discretised into a number ...
