No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-01-01; Electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique is a very simple method that can be usefulness in most of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. A common application of EMI methods is based on computing the frequency response function (FRF), which requires an impeda...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-01-01; This paper presents an investigation into some practical issues that may be present in a real experiment, when trying to validate the theoretical frequency response curve of a two degree-of-freedom nonlinear system consisting of coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators. Some specific features, such as d...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-01-01; In water distribution systems, old metallic pipes have been replaced by plastic pipes due to their deterioration over time. Although acoustic methods are effective in finding leaks in metallic pipes, they have been found to be problematic when applied to plastic pipes due to the high damping within the ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-01-01; An excitation force that is not influenced by the system's states is said to be an ideal energy source. In real situations, a direct and feedback coupling between the excitation source and the system must always exist. This manifestation of the law of conversation of energy is known as Sommerfeld E...
