A Novel Damage Indicator Based on the Electromechanical Impedance Principle for Structural Damage Identification

This paper presents a novel structural damage detection indicator, i.e., fourth-order voltage statistical moment (FVSM) based on the electromechanical impedance (EMI) principle, and then proposes a two-step damage detection method based on the novel indicator and a differential evolution algorithm (...
