Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a compilation of mathematical-computational tools that are used to analyze experimental data. The techniques presented are those that have been most widely and successfully applied to the analysis of physiological systems, and address issues such as randomness, determinism, dimension, and nonlinearity. In addition to bringing together the most useful methods, sufficient mathematical background is provided to enable non-specialists to understand and apply the computational techniques. Thus, the material will be useful to life-science investigators on several levels, from phys

Sommario/riassunto

Damage prognosis is a natural extension of damage detection and structural health monitoring and is forming a growing part of many businesses.  This comprehensive volume presents a series of fundamental topics that define the new area of damage prognosis.  Bringing together essential information in each of the basic technologies necessary to perform damage prognosis, it also reflects the highly interdisciplinary nature of the industry through the extensive referencing of each of the component disciplines.  Taken from lectures given at the Pan American Advanced Studies Institute in Damage Pro
