Identification of Defects and Fatigue of Aluminum Plates by Control of Vibration Characteristics

The Aluminum plates are among the most commonly used structural elements. The use of more and more important, shows the imperative need of the study of their vibratory behavior and thus becomes of great importance and helps the engineers to design better structures. Vibration analysis is an important current topic, both from an academic and an industrial point of view. The latter affects many areas, such as space technology, naval and civil engineering, automotive, aeronautics, and bridges, buildings, or nuclear engineering.
