Civil Research Talks: Damage Detection in Bolted Joints | Samuel da Silva

Subject: This seminar presents recent developments proposing new solutions utilizing indirect vibration data measures for detecting and quantifying damage in bolted joints by probabilistic machine learning procedures.

Speaker: Samuel da Silva | Associate Professor, São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, Brazil

Date: November 28, 2022 | 11h30-12h30 | Room U.0.6 | https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/93285885760 | Lusófona University, Lisbon, Portugal

Abstract: Bolted joints are essential for structural systems' connection, stability, and damping dissipation. Thus, the continuous monitoring of the tightening torque in each bolted joint is demanded to interrogate the structural state. This talk presents recent developments proposing new solutions utilizing indirect vibration data measures for detecting and quantifying damage in bolted joints by probabilistic machine learning procedures.

Short Bio: Samuel da Silva is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at São Paulo State University - UNESP (Ilha Solteira/Brazil) and Research Fellow from National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq/Brazil).
