It integrates cutting-edge research into an easy-to-understand approach for non-radar and monitoring specialists, building on the methods and theory of working with radar systems, SHM frameworks, GBR signal processing, and validation techniques. All aspects of in-field monitoring and use during the design and testing of structures are covered, including data acquisition and processing, damage detection techniques, and damage prognostic techniques. The book is a hands-on reference that provides critical information on GBR for practitioners, university instructors, and students involved in structural design, optimization, and health monitoring of stationary and rotating structures. The first book dedicated to ground-based radar for structural health monitoring; Provides worked-out exercises, comprehensive case studies, and numerous examples; Establishes the use of a 3-tier SHM framework in the context of non-contact sensors. 606 $aEngineering geology 606 $aWater-power 606 $aWind power 606 $aSurveying 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aGeoengineering 606 $aHydroenergy 606 $aWind Energy 606 $aSurveying 606 $aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications 615 0$aEngineering geology. 615 0$aWater-power. 615 0$aWind power. 615 0$aSurveying. 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 14$aGeoengineering. 615 24$aHydroenergy. 615 24$aWind Energy. 615 24$aSurveying. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications. 676 $a624.171 676 $a624.171 700 $aOchieng$b Francis Xavier$01369207 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731470503321 996 $aGround-Based Radar in Structural Design, Optimization, and Health Monitoring of Stationary and Rotating Structures$93395264 997 $aUNINA
