Research of Information Fusion and Evidence theory Applied in Structural Damage Detection
Wenhao Shen, Senwen Zhang, Changyou Li · 2011
Nondestructive damage detection technique is essential to ensure safety, reliability and operational life. But the large amount data and complex information can lead to wrong judgment. A kind of multi-information fusion method was applied in damage detection system based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. The constructed integrated parameter performed well in the sensitivity and reliability compared to conventional single parameter methods. And the result showed that the multi-information fusion method can be widely used in damage diagnosis.
