Ortiz-Bernardin Abstract To avoid structural failures it is of critical importance to detect, locate and quantify impact damage as soon as it occurs. This can be achieved by impact identification methodologies, which continuously monitor the structure, detecting, locating, and quantifying

Smart Materials and Structures Vol. 25, No. 9, pp. 095050, 2016 N. Sanchez, V. Meruane, A. Ortiz-Bernardin Abstract This article presents a novel impact identification algorithm that uses a linear approximation handled by a statistical inference model based on the maximum-entropy principle, termed linear approximation with maximum entropy (LME). Unlike other regression algorithms as Artificial

Paper Accepted for Publication in Entropy V. Meruane, V. del Fierro, A. Ortiz-Bernardin, “A maximum entropy approach to assess debonding in honeycomb aluminium plates.” ABSTRACT Honeycomb sandwich structures are used in a wide variety of applications. Nevertheless, due to manufacturing defects or impact loads, these structures can be subject to imperfect bonding or debonding between
