Detection on Structural Sudden Damage Using Continuous Wavelet Transform and Lipschitz Exponent

The degradation of civil engineering structures may lead to a sudden stiffness reduction in a structure and such a sudden damage will cause a discontinuity in the dynamic responses. The detection on structural sudden damage has been actively carried out in this study. The signal singularity of the a...
