Measuring and analysing the vibration of structures using sensors can help identify and detect damage, potentially prolonging the life of structures and preventing disasters. Wireless sensor systems promise to make this technology more affordable and more widely applicable. Data driven structural health monitoring methodologies take raw signals obtained from sensor networks, and process them to obtain damage sensitive features. New measurements are then compared with baselines to detect damage. Because damage-sensitive features also exhibit variation due to environmental and operational changes, these comparisons are not always straightforward and sophisticated statistical analysis is necessary in order to detect abnormal changes in the damage sensitive features. In this thesis, an automated methodology which uses the one-class support vector machine (OCSVM) for damage detection and localisation is proposed. The OCSVM is a nonparametric machine learning method which can accurately classify new data points based only on data from the baseline condition of the structure. This methodology combines feature extraction, by means of autoregressive modeling, and wavelet analysis, with statistical pattern recognition using the OCSVM. The potential for embedding this damage detection methodology at the sensor level is also discussed. Efficacy is demonstrated using real experimental data from a steel frame laboratory structure, for various damage locations and scenarios.

The primary objective of this project was to provide recommendations for process changes in order to implement an effective phased-replacement program for damage control gear on Arliegh Burke Destroyer Class ships. The research for this report focused on that Damage Control equipment in Repair Locker Two. The authors analyzed the shipboard phased-replacement process to assess whether or not it was effective and adequately supporting the readiness of Repair Locker Two. The analysis was limited in scope to Fiscal Years (FYs) 2007 and 2008. A data analysis, oriented toward process improvement, was conducted based on STARS Federal Supply Group (FSG) data, shipboard interviews, Repair Locker inventories as well as ATG Subject Matter Expert (SME) opinion. The analysis was conducted on ten ships, five from the West Coast, and five from the East Coast. The analysis revealed that phased-replacement support from a standardized process in Repair Locker Two was lacking on multiple ships in the study. Based on the analysis conducted, the authors provided recommendations for a suggested phased-replacement support plan as well as recommendations for process improvement.

Full textIntroduction: Ballet classes (BC) seem to have lower cardiorespiratory (CR) intensities than ballet reharshal (BR) and spectacles. Besides that, the ballet is characterized as an intermittent exercise that involves several eccentric avtions, which could be related to muscle damage (MD) and oxidative stress (OS). Aims: To describe, compare and correlate ballet dancers` CR, MD and OS responses after a BC and a BR. CR variables: oxygen consumption (VO2); heart rate (HR) and lactate blood concentration (La). OS variables: redox state (GSSH/GSH) and lipoperoxides blood concetration (LPO). MD variable: creatine kinase blood concentration (CK). Methods: Twelve female advanced ballet dancers volunteered this study. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) test and body composition assessment were performed. In two separated sessions, the dancers performed a BC and a BR, which were previously recorded in their dance school, and further transmited during the data colecttion sessions. VO2 and HR were continually measured during all sessions. La was verified before and after the VO2max test; and in rest, in 15 and 30 minutes of the BC and BR. Blood colections were performed in rest, immediately after and 48h after the BC and BR. CR responses during BC (barre, center floor and whole BC) and during BR (whole BR) were also compared to the CR responses in the first and second ventilatory threshold (VT1 and VT2). The La was also compered after VO2max test, after the BC and after BR. Data were expressed in average and standart deviation. Statistics: ANOVA Two-way; ANOVA repeated measures and Post hoc Bonferroni (p<0.05). Results: VO2max=37.3±4.7; VT1=24.92.7 and VT2=31.93.8 ml.kg-1.min-1. VO2 (BC=14.5±2.1 / BR=19.1±1.7 ml.kg-1.min-1); HR (BC=145.7±17.9 / BR=175±13.8 bpm) e La (BC=4.2±1.1 / BR=5.5 ± 2.7 mmol.l-1) were significantly different among themselves. VO2 (ml.kg-1.min-1) results comparing BC, BR, VT1 and VT2 were: barre (14.4±2.0); whole BC (14.5±2.1); center floor (16.7±2.5); whole BR (19.11.7); VT1 (24.9 ± 2.7) and VT2 (31.9 ± 3.8). For FC results, the whole BR was located between VT1 and VT2. La (mmol.l-1) in the BC (4.2±1.1) was significantly lower than La in the VO2max test (8.1±2.3), being the BR (5.5±2.7) statistically equal to both. CK was significantly higher after the BC than the BR, being the values post and 48h post equal between themselves and both significantly different from before BC and BR. The ratio GSSG/GSH was significantly lower in 48h after BC and BR, but it was not different in relation to the type of exercise (BC or BR). LPO values were higher in the BC than the BR, however they did not show any differences related to the time. Conclusion: BC showed lower CR responses than BR, nevertheless, BC was more intense concerning the cell damage parameters. It appears that the dancers evaluated are well adapeted in relation to cell damage parameters, but they need more specific training from the CR point of view.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate the class action for damages in order to show how they behave in court, as they adapt to existing procedural tools and when their legal defense is possible, desirable and necessary. It departs from research on the characteristics of the interests, is critical of the attributes of its class treatment and seeks to apply the results of that research to ancient and current problems that have hampered its most court protection. The work was limited by the plaintiff class action and by the common procedure. The methodology used was the work of reading, analysis, summary, interpretation, and systematic compilation of texts, books, periodicals and magazines devoted to the subject, in addition to reports and documents relevant to the matters discussed, including those available on the World Wide Web (Internet). Individual interests commons to a class, without losing its essence individual, have a collective dimension to them approaching other collective interests, which do not adapt easily to the procedural tools created for the individual jurisdiction. Their collective protection by class action is possible when there is a homogenous core, its main feature; is useful when the damage caused to those interests can be demonstrated without question the very existence of that core; and is convenient when its social relevance and the difficulties of access to justice thus require. Some of the main problems faced by the class action for damages do not have solution based on current brazilian legislation, or are contemplated in the draft amendment under discussion. The legitimacy of the public attorney for the commencement of class action for damages follows express provision of legal authorization to this effect, the unavailability of interest or of its social relevance, and it is not extending the implementation in favor of individuals. It is possible the judicial review in class action, provided with practical effects and subject to special appeal.

Full textThe present study, based on the observation that there is still a great amount of uncertainty of what constitutes the social damage, aims to investigate the possibility of extracting criteria from jurisprudence that allow the construction of a uniform concept that can be applied indistinctly to all factual situations, and to ensure, on a practical level, greater predictability and uniformity of judicial decisions. In order to do so, a brief analysis of the modern tendencies of civil liability, especially of the expansion of the indemnifiable damages, with the intention of demonstrating that the recognition of the social damage (or any denomination that is attributed to the same phenomenon) is due to the stage evolution of a society in which the increase of the harmful potential and the abandonment of the liberal individual-patrimonialist paradigm led to the collectivization of rights, whose violation became subject to redress. In addition, it seeks to understand how the themes of social damage and collective moral damage, which are often treated as synonyms by jurisprudence, have been treated by the doctrine, while still analyzing the main aspects of collective reparation instruments, highlighting the principles and the modern trends pointed out in the scope of collective actions. From the procedural point of view, it is based on the premise that motivation constitutes an instrument for the effectiveness of law, since it ensures the control of the rationality and legitimacy of judicial decisions. Thus, considering that it is in the grounds that the judge, based on the factual substrate, will carry out the legal framework of the issue, we proceed to analyze the motivation of the judicial decisions of the Courts of Justice and Selected Regional Labor Courts, coming to however, ontologically the social damage and collective moral damage to the jurisprudence have the same characterizing elements, the fragility of the arguments, allied to the lack of theoretical deepening in the judicial decisions, that are used, in most cases, the same theoretical references and open and indeterminate terms to designate the institute, for which is suggested the denomination of \"collective off-balance damage\", make it impossible to extract objective criteria for the selection of damages worthy of guardianship, requiring a theoretical improvement of the grounds in this particular.

Full textPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) represent a family of ubiquitous atmospheric pollutants produced upon incomplete combustion and thus present in polluted atmosphere of the cities, in cigarette smoke and in certain industries. Exposure to HAP can cause lung, skin and bladder cancers. For this reason, some PAHs are suspected or recognized carcinogenic to humans, especially Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), through their ability at inducing the formation of DNA damage after metabolization. In spite of the systematic emission of PAHs in mixtures, the majority of the studies was interested in the genotoxic effect of pure PAH and mainly B[a]P. In order to provide mechanistic data on the genotoxicity and the mode of action of PAH mixtures, we designed an in vitro study using cell lines representative of lungs (A549), bladder (T24) and liver (HepG2). DNA damage was investigated through the quantification of adducts by HPLC-MS/MS and of oxidative damage by the Comet assay. In addition, the metabolism was studied by analyzing genes induction by RT-qPCR and enzymatic activities of phase I CYP540 (EROD) and phase II (GST). First, the use of B[a] P, as a reference compound showed a quasi-total absence of metabolization and genotoxicity for T24. In contrast, the formation of DNA adducts formation and the induction of metabolization was highlighted for A549, with a bell-shaped dose-response curve similar to those observed in other lungs models. Then we extended this approach to 12 priority PAH and analyzed their metabolization and the possible formation of adducts focusing on the pulmonary cell line A549. The combination of these HAP to B[a]P in binary mixtures or in complex mixtures representative to environmental exposures led to a strong inhibition in adducts formation induced by B[a]P without outbreak of adducts from other PAH. In addition, we observed, in the case of complex mixtures, a good correlation between the EROD activity and the formation of adducts in DNA, while phase I genes were always overexpressed after exposure to mixtures when compared to pure B[a]P. The mechanisms involved in the inhibition of DNA adducts remain to be elucidated but PAHs metabolization represents a key step in the mixtures genotoxicity through inhibition or competition of CYP resulting in an inhibition of EROD activity. It is thus clear that the study of the HAP in an individual way is not sufficient to understand the genotoxicity of complex mixtures. The TEF Approach, usually used to asses the risk related to PAH mixtures exposure, relies on toxic effects additivity and ignores metabolic interactions between the various PAH. The improvement of this prediction tool is essential and involves necessarily the study of the underlying mechanisms which connect mixtures composition, their metabolization and their genotoxicity

Full textEcteinascidins (Trabectedin, Lurbinectedin) are novel marine derived natural products, DNA minor groove binders and active against chemo-resistant cancers. The purpose of my thesis was to 1) characterize the DNA damage response (DDR) to both trabectedin and lurbinectedin 2) to establish whether the pharmacological abrogation of cell response induced by DNA damage (ATM, ATR, Chk1, Chk2) can modulate the therapeutic activity of ETs. Our results show that both compounds activate the ATM/Chk2 (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated/checkpoint kinase 2) and ATR/Chk1 (ATM and RAD3-related/checkpoint kinase 1) pathways. Interestingly, the pharmacological inhibition of either Chk1/2, ATR or ATM kinases is not accompanied by a significant improvement of either trabectedin or lurbinectedin cytotoxic activity. However, the simultaneous inhibition of both ATM and ATR strongly potentiates the activity of both ETs. Importantly, these results are not restricted to HeLa cells but can also be extended to cisplatin-sensitive or -resistant ovarian carcinoma cell lines. Finally, we showed that the concomitant inhibition of both ATR and ATM is an absolute requirement to efficiently block the initiation and realization of homologous recombination repair mechanisms. Together, our data identify ATR and ATM as central coordinators of the DDR to trabectedin and lurbinectedin and provide a mechanistic rational for combinations of these compounds with both ATR and ATM inhibitors

Full textThe following work aims at examining prospects in the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques in Brazilian class actions. To this end, it will, at first, analyze negotiation, mediation, conciliation and arbitration main characteristics. Also, admission criteria for each of these dispute resolution techniques will be identified and the elements that should be considered for the adequacy exam will be outlined. Further on, the three kinds of Brazilian class action and the main characteristics of each class procedures will be examined, with special concern to procedure laws pertaining legitimacy and res judicata. Moreover, the paper will systematically study the hypothesis in which extrajudicial conflict resolution techniques may be applied and the adequacy of their use in cases encompassing collective rights. Finally, in its conclusion, it will be demonstrated that extrajudicial techniques can be used to solve conflicts involving collective rights, mainly through negotiation, conciliation and arbitration.

Full textThe Green Paper and the White Paper on damages actions for breach of EU competition law found private antitrust enforcement in a state of “total underdevelopment” and proposed reforms to adress the identified obstacles. Empirical study of french case law does not support entirely these findings, because it’s important to distinguish between actions brought against competitors, and actions brought by consumers. Exclusionary practices litigated between competitors show reasonable success compared to similar cases. The reforms proposed by the European Commission concerning access to documents and quantification of damages would not bring any significant improvement to french law. However, damages actions in compensation of overcharges brought by direct and indirect purchasers seem doomed to failure, in the absence of a collective action and distribution mechanism. Debate is storming at EU and national level, but the considered options appear unconvincing. It is proposed a public mechanism for collective redress. Within their existing powers, competition authorities should review the fine policy to achieve collective compensation as private penalty. Substantial amount of fines should be inflicted when infringers cannot show they have taken active steps to provide compensation to consumers. In that case, a partial amount of the total fine should be dedicated to compensate consumer, directly or indirectly, in pecuniary or non-pecuniary form. Competition authorities should have the power to order infringers to create trust funds for that purpose

Full textRegulation of competition is dualistic in France and Canada. On one side, public authority frame the market and impose sanction, if appropriate, to the practices contrary to existing legislation, and, on other side, the victims injured by antitrust practices, that is consumers and company, may bring a private procecussion based on the liability to obtain a compensation for the antitrust injury. They are respectively of public action and private action, also referred to as public enforcement and private enforcement of competition law. However, in the European Union, and particularly in France, the antitrust harm has no effective remedy. Indeed, in France, consumers had not, until the adoption of the collective redress, procedural means to access the judge of compensation. In addition, the French civil law proves too rigid to allow compensation for something as complex as the competitive harm. For its thinking about it, the French legislator has often turned to the Canadian and Quebec models to reform its bicentenary civil law. Indeed, the Quebec civil law is particularly flexible in disputes related to competition law. In addition, the Canadian Competition Act provides a right to compensation adapted to the constraints of the victims of anticompetitive practices. The author has sought to understand how the Canadian private enforcement mechanism works to assess whether this model, through the Quebec civil law, could inspire a reform of French civil law model adopted by the legislature in particular during the introduction of collective redress. The analysis is primarily civil law to allow a reading of private action that departs from conventional stereotypes of the American experience in this field. The ultimate goal of this comparison is to make effective use of the private businesses and consumers in French and Canadian rights following an injury resulting from a violation of anti-competitive practices

Full textThe subject of shareholder damages has seldom been studied in France. Nonetheless, it is a topic of much discussion and debate in legal circles. Unlike under some foreign laws, French law rarely permits the direct compensation of shareholder damages because of the summa divisio between the personal damage (recoverable) and the damage of the company (not recoverable). However, this distinction is not relevant both in terms of theory and practice. More doubt is cast on this distinction where the potential damage arises from an infringement of the penal law, such as the use of false or misleading information to induce shareholder reliance or action. Furthermore, the internationalisation of capital introduces conflicts of law and jurisdictional questions, asking the courts to first determine whether they are the proper authority to hear a shareholder’s case, and which nation’s laws to apply.This study presents a critical analysis of the positive law and proposes avenues of reforming French laws concerning shareholder damages. Should the existing remedies be changed ? Which remedies should be adopted to reverse the strict trends in French law against adequately compensating shareholders’ losses ?

Full textA presente dissertação de mestrado trata acerca do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários, no contexto luso-brasileiro. Visa-se com este estudo analisar o procedimento adotado pelo Direito Processual Civil, para reparar os danos causados aos investidores não profissionais, lesados por intermediários financeiros, ao realizarem investimentos financeiros.Tal procedimento encontra diversas lacunas processuais, no que tange a fase de liquidação da sentença coletiva. Se fala em sentença coletiva, tendo em vista que se os investidores lesados pleitearem a reparação de seus danos de forma individual, o processo torna-se muito oneroso para estes, desde o exercer do ónus probatório até os altos custos envolvidos. A solução para isto é a reparação coletiva do dano, por meio da ação popular, no caso português, e da ação civil pública, no caso brasileiro.No entanto, ao ser proposta uma ação coletiva no âmbito do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários, as dificuldades também se fazem presentes, posto que a legislação luso-brasileira não prevê formas de quantificar e individualizar o dano de cada investidor integrante da classe.A liquidação de sentença coletiva em Portugal possui o mesmo “abstracionismo” observado no Brasil. Com conceitos generalistas, somente imputa ao exequente a obrigação de fazer prova da extensão do seu dano, conferindo, portanto, certeza ao pedido de liquidação.Não há alternativas legislativas, seja no Código de Valores Mobiliários, seja no Código de Processo Civil Português, caso o exequente, ora investidor, tiver dificuldades em comprovar a extensão do dano, do mesmo modo como ocorre no Brasil, que apenas prevê a criação de um fundo comum para depósito da indemnização.Recorremos então as class actions americanas para tentar encontrar possíveis soluções para esse limbo jurídico existente na legislação luso-brasileira quanto a quantificação e reparação dos danos aos investidores.A solução trazida pelo ordenamento jurídico americano, para liquidar os danos individuais decorrentes de ações coletivas, é denominada de fluid class recovery.Trata-se de conceder um benefício geral, que abranja toda a classe, sem foco em compensar de forma individual os indivíduos que a formam, sendo um modelo bastante controverso nos Estados Unidos, o qual também não concordamos que seja a melhor solução.Tendo como suporte o caso Petrobras Securities Class Action, que o Tribunal aprovou juntamente com o acordo firmado entre a classe e os réus, um plano de alocação para distribuir de forma equitativa o valor depositado no fundo de liquidação, no qual restaram estipuladas as diretrizes de como a liquidação individual deverá ocorrer, entendemos que essa é a solução pertinente.Cremos que a elaboração de um plano de alocação para o pagamento das indemnizações, mostra-se como uma solução para o problema de gestão e rateio das indemnizações coletivas.Deste modo, as Ações Populares/Ações Civis Públicas poderiam ser mais eficientes, enquanto meios de proteção dos investidores, se a lei brasileira 7.913/1989 e o Código de Valores Mobiliários previssem formas de individualizar os prejuízos dos investidores, após o processo coletivo, a fim de tornar o processo de liquidação e execução mais célere e eficaz.Consideramos que o Poder Legislativo deveria promover a alteração das legislações luso-brasileiras, a fim de implementar o plano de alocação, com suas diretrizes bem definidas e estabelecendo todos os procedimentos a serem adotados na fase de liquidação de sentença, visando, portanto, a quantificação e pagamento das indemnizações individualizadas, de forma justa e equitativa, de acordo com medidas sugeridas ao longo deste trabalho.
This master's thesis deals with the Securities Market, in the luso-brazilian context. This study aims to analyze the procedure adopted by Civil Procedural Law, to repair the damage caused to non-professional investors, injured by financial intermediaries, when making financial investments.This procedure finds several procedural gaps, regarding the settlement phase of the collective judgment. We speak of a collective sentence, considering that if the injured investors plead for the reparation of their damages individually, the process becomes very onerous for them, from exercising the burden of proof to the high costs involved. The solution to this is the collective reparation of the damage, through popular action, in the portuguese case, and public civil action, in the brazilian case.However, when collective action is proposed within the scope of the Securities Market, the difficulties are also present, since the luso-brazilian legislation does not provide ways to quantify and individualize the damage of each investor in the class.The settlement of a collective sentence in Portugal has the same “abstractionism” observed in Brazil. With generalist concepts, it only imputes to the applicant the obligation to prove the extent of his damage, thus giving certainty to the liquidation request.There are no legislative alternatives, either in the Securities Code or in the Portuguese Civil Procedure Code, if the applicant, now an investor, has difficulties in proving the extent of the damage, just as it does in Brazil, which only provides for the creation of a common fund to deposit the compensation.We then resorted to American class actions to try to find possible solutions to this legal limbo in luso-brazilian legislation regarding the quantification and repair of damage to investors.The solution brought by the American legal system, to settle individual damages resulting from collective actions, is called fluid class recovery.It is a question of granting a general benefit, which covers the entire class, with no focus on individually compensating the individuals who form it, being a very controversial model in the United States, which we also do not agree is the best solution.Based on the Petrobras Securities Class Action case, which the Court approved, together with the agreement between the class and the defendants, an allocation plan to equitably distribute the amount deposited in the settlement fund, in which the guidelines for as individual settlement should occur, we understand that this is the relevant solution.We believe that the elaboration of an allocation plan for the payment of damages is shown to be a solution to the problem of management and apportionment of collective damages.In this way, Popular Actions / Public Civil Actions could be more efficient, as a means of protecting investors, if Brazilian law 7.913 / 1989 and the Securities Code provided for ways to individualize investors' losses, after the collective process, in order to make the settlement and execution process faster and more efficient.We believe that the Legislative Power should promote the alteration of luso-brazilian laws, in order to implement the allocation plan, with its well-defined guidelines and establishing all the procedures to be adopted in the sentence settlement phase, aiming, therefore, at quantification and payment of individualized compensation, in a fair and equitable manner, according to measures suggested throughout this work.

Full textHoje em dia, a gestão de um vasto acervo de estruturas complexas e infraestruturas, que se encontram próximo ou para lá do seu fim de vida útil, constitui um importante desafio para os países desenvolvidos. Neste contexto, a manutenção e a prevenção têm vindo a representar custos muito significativos, sendo necessário adotar estratégias de gestão com relação custo-benefício otimizada, mas que ainda se encontram em desenvolvimento. Com a Monitorização da Integridade de Estruturas (em inglês, Structural Health Monitoring, SHM) pretende-se garantir a identificação imediata de danos, de forma a permitir uma avaliação automatizada da integridade dos sistemas estruturais. O desenvolvimento desta área de investigação visa a obtenção de métodos adequados e fiáveis para detetar os danos o mais cedo possível, e para que estes sejam encarados de forma imediata, focada e económica. A deteção de danos pode ser formulada como um problema de classificação com uma única classe e pode ser tratada de forma eficaz por meio de ferramentas numéricas bioinspiradas, como o Algoritmo de Seleção Negativa (NSA). A presente tese tem como objetivo desenvolver e testar uma metodologia de deteção de danos baseada numa versão inovadora do NSA com geração determinística. A metodologia é composta por vários recursos numéricos, para ultrapassar as deficiências identificadas na revisão da literatura. A metodologia proposta é validada em análises numéricas e estudos de caso, considerando cenários de danos múltiplos e incrementais, e condições ambientais e operacionais variáveis. Todas as conclusões são baseadas na análise experimental e estatística da aplicação dos algoritmos desenvolvidos, procurando-se desenvolver uma comparação justa com técnicas alternativas. A metodologia proposta revela-se apropriada para a deteção de danos em estado inicial de desenvolvimento. Pode ser adaptada a diferentes tipos de estruturas e propriedades estruturais sensíveis à ocorrência de dano. É robusta em relação a fontes de incerteza como o ruído nos sinais adquiridos, ao erro induzido pela extração das propriedades ou à flutuação devida às condições ambientais variáveis. O seu desempenho é fortemente afetado pela configuração dos parâmetros do algoritmo. Deste modo, são apresentadas diferentes abordagens de configuração, bem como se recomendam valores ou intervalos para parametrização da metodologia. Em conclusão, a estratégia de deteção de danos baseada em NSA, que é validada no contexto da presente tese, é considerada eficaz e os resultados promissores recomendam mais pesquisas e novas aplicações.
Nowadays, developed countries are challenged by the management of a wide estate inventory of complex existing structures and infrastructures, which are either close or beyond the end of their service life. Maintenance and prevention have become a significant item of expenditure, while cost-effective strategies are required but still under development. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims at the prompt identification of damage in order to allow an automated health condition assessment of structural systems. The development of such a field of investigation shall provide suitable and reliable methods for detecting the damage outbreak at the earliest possible stage, thus for facing it in a quick, focused and economic way. To this end, damage detection can be formulated as a one-class classification problem and effectively addressed through bio-inspired numerical tools, as the Negative Selection Algorithm (NSA). This thesis aims at developing and testing a damage detection methodology based on an innovative version of NSA with deterministic generation. The methodology is composed of several numerical features to tackle the relevant shortcomings that emerged during the literature review and the pilot tests. The individual features and the global methodology are validated on numerical instances and field-testing case studies, considering multiple and increasing damage scenarios and varying environmental and operational conditions. All the conclusions drawn in the present work are based on experimental analyses of the algorithms, performed based on a proper statistical design. Additional attention is paid to provide a fair comparison with alternative existing techniques. The proposed methodology results suitable for early-stage damage detection. It can be adapted to different types of structures and damage-sensitive features. It might be suitable for sensor embedment, by performing the detection on the acquisition of a single sensor. It is independent of the type of monitoring tools or excitation. It is robust against sources of uncertainties as the noise in the signals, the error induced by feature extraction and the fluctuation in the monitored features due to varying environmental conditions. Its performance is, instead, largely affected by the algorithm parameter setting. Therefore, different suitable setting designs are presented together with recommended values or ranges. In conclusion, the damage detection strategy based on NSA, that is validated in the context of the present thesis, is deemed effective and the promising results foster more research and further applications.
