Novel Damage Detection Tool Based on Load Path Analysis Using Ustar (U*)

A novel tool for damage detection of an engineering structure based on the load path analysis using U* index is developed with high sensitivity. U* is a math index presentation of the internal stiffness distribution of a structure subjected to a certain load. The global variation of the stiffness di...
