Check out one of our recent publications. This was research carried out by Dr. Chandler Smith and Prof. Eric Hernandez with funding from the National Science Foundation. They found a clever way to find localized damage in large structures by using sparsity-promoting algorithms and vibration measurements. This was published in the Journal of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing.

Non-negative constrained inverse eigenvalue problems – Application to damage identification Damage identification using eigenvalue shifts is ill-posed because the number of identifiable eigenvalues is typically far less than the number of pot…
