Damage localisation in thin plates using the inverse Finite Element Method

This work investigates the use of the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) for damage localisatio...n by reconstructing the damaged strain field of the structure. The iFEM is a proven technique for reconstructing the displacement field of a structure using surface strain measurements from discrete locations on the structure.
