On a trust metric for stochastic multi-objective model-based damage localisation

Model-based structural health monitoring (SHM) is commonly applied to identify the position and extent of potential damage. This is achieved by updating damage parameters to match measured dynamic responses, such as modal properties. Local reductions in stiffness in the updated m...

Lifetime reassessment of offshore wind turbines considering different operating conditions using Kriging meta-models

To extend the lifetime of an offshore wind turbine, a lifetime reassessment is required to determine the potential remaining lifetime. This means that the lifetime is recalculated using the combinations of environmental parameters (wind and wave effects) that have actually occurr...
