Pahlavan, L. (author)In order for the increased use of fiber-reinforced composite structures to be financially feasible, employment of reliable and economical systems to detect damage and evaluate structural integrity is necessary. This task has traditionally been performed using off-line non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. Safety enhancement programs and cost...doctoral thesis 2012

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)For understanding the actual state of durability of concrete structures, it is important to know its response due to external loading. This response mainly depends on the actual structural and material properties of the structure, while loaded. Mechanical and chemical degradation are the main mechanisms that may affect these properties with time...conference paper 2014

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)The remaining service life of concrete structures strongly depends on the corrosion level of the reinforcement bars. It explains that measuring the corrosion rate is a key issue in monitoring the structural health of concrete structures. A common and appropriate technique used to evaluate the instantaneous corrosion rate of steel reinforcement...conference paper 2014

Terwel, K.C. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), Waning, H (author)Radar interferometry is a technique which can observe the earth’s surface during day and night time. It makes uses of thousands of pulses per second that are transmitted by satellites and reflected by the surface of, for instance, structures. By analyzing the data it is possible to measure displacements of the surface within millimeter precision...conference paper 2015

Lourens, E. (author), Fallais, D.J.M. (author)For the monitoring of large structures where the loading is typically characterized by large uncertainties in temporal and/or spatial evolution, algorithms capable of estimating a set of response driving equivalent forces are strongly desired. In this context, several Kalman-type coupled input-state and coupled input-state-parameter filters...conference paper 2017

Rajabzadeh, Aydin (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author)In this paper the behaviour of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors under non-uniform strain distributions was analysed. Using the fundamental matrix approach, the length of the FBG sensor was discretised, with each segment undergoing different strain values. FBG sensors that are embedded inside composites, also undergo such non-uniform strain...conference paper 2017
