Damage can be viewed as a continuum discontinuity. In order to identify and quantify damage, the present study investigates the dependence of reflection and transmission [...]

Wave propagation in experiments on prestressed waveguides points out the occurrence of phenomena requiring the accounting for nonlinear aspects in the model, for instance [...]

The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, su [...]
