A comparative study of vibrational response based impact force localization and quantification using different types of neural networks / Wang Yanru

Impact force indentification plays an extremely important role to monitor structure health, where impacts can damage the structure, such as moving vehicle and industrial machines. Direct identification is not efficient and difficult due to environmental constraints and complex machines movements. Th...
