A Bayesian time-of-flight estimation for ultrasonic damage detection (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Cantero-Chinchilla, S., Chiachío-Ruano, J., Chiachío-Ruano, M., Jones, A., Essa, Y., & Martín de la Escalera, F. (2018). A Bayesian time-of-flight estimation for ultrasonic damage detection.

SHM methods for damage detection and localisation in plate-like structures have typically relied on post-processing of ultrasonic guided waves (GWs) features. The time-of-flight is one of these features, which has been extensively used by the SHM com... Read More about A Bayesian time-of-flight estimation for ultrasonic damage detection.
