Damage Identification in Bars with a Wave Propagation Approach and a Hybrid Optimization Method

The formulation and solution of the inverse problem of damage identification based on wave propagation approach are presented. Different damage scenarios for a bar are considered. Time history responses, obtained from pulse-echo synthetic experiments, are used to identify damage position, severity a...
