Inverse Estimation for Damage Assessment in SHM: Moving Beyond the Probability of Detection

SHM systems are built to detect and estimate damage. For such systems, the detection of damage should be, inevitable. It is no longer conceivable that the system will regularly fail to detect damage. Instead, researchers should focus on methods to predict the extent of damage and feasible ranges of the signals that correspond to such damage. We refer to the application of such methods as the reliability of detection. Specifically, this paper...
