SGS method applied to damage location and uncertainty modeling for sensor grid in the ISHM by Pereira, Paulo Elias Carneiro, de Rezende, Stanley Washington Ferreira, Moura Júnior, José dos Reis Vieira de, Finzi Neto, Roberto Mendes

“…Various approaches have been developed to estimate damage location, yet they often need more capability to assess the reliability of data collected from sensor grids. In this paper, we introduce a novel method based on Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) to pinpoint damage locations on aluminum plates and create maps that illustrate the spatial uncertainty associated with damage index values throughout the structure. …”
