TY - JOUR PB - IOP Science ID - upm22351 N2 - A novel methodology for damage detection and location in structures is proposed. The methodology is based on strain measurements and consists in the development of strain field pattern recognition techniques. The aforementioned are based on PCA (principal component analysis) and damage indices (T 2 and Q). We propose the use of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as strain sensors TI - Damage detection by using FBGs and strain field pattern recognition techniques IS - 2 SP - 25011 AV - public A1 - Sierra Pérez, Julian A1 - Güemes Gordo, Jesús Alfredo A1 - Mujica, Luis Eduardo Y1 - 2013/// SN - 0964-1726 UR - http://iopscience.iop.org/0964-1726/22/2/025011 JF - Smart Materials And Structures VL - 22 EP - 25021 ER -
