Non-Destructive Damage Evaluation Based on Element Strain Energies

The objective of this thesis is to develop a nondestructive evaluation method that could accurately locate and size damage in structures. The method is to be based on pre-damage and post-damage strain energies of beam and column elements. The method should apply to 1-D as well as 2-D and 3-D structu...
