... Vibration-based damage assessment methods have the potential to tackle the health monitoring of massive infrastructure more efficiently and the effort being put into their development goes back to more than half a century [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, there is still a lack of research data available to propose a certainty and quantifiable damage assessment method, as indicated by Alex et al [22]. ...

Damage assessment of reinforced concrete beams using cost-effective MEMS accelerometers

... Three approaches are considered to evaluate the dynamic response of elastic beams and steel-concrete composite beams: analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches. The complexity of the phenomenon limits the analytical studies to very simple cases until the 1950s when a one-dimensional numerical model to study the dynamic effect of moving loads on bridge behavior was presented [1]. Moreover, [2] explored the dynamic response of a simply supported beam by solving analytically the governing differential equation. ...
