Damage identification in beams using additional rove mass and wavelet transform

There is a need for efficient techniques that could identify damages in structures such as in bridges, pipelines, buildings, dams, among others. In order to carry out continuous monitoring of structures, this paper proposes a new experimental methodology for the identification of damages in steel b...
