Dr Eng. Beata Zima from the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environment at the Gdańsk University of Technology has developed algorithms that allow for effective identification of damage in objects made of various materials. They can be used in construction for diagnostics of machine elements, ships, railway connections, welds and in biomechanics.

Algorithms for detecting, locating and estimating the size of damage in elements of engineering structures may enable effective detection of subsurface damage (which may lead to secondary damage, e.g. corrosion centers) without interfering with the structure of the structure and without the need to carry out reference measurements.

The Gdańsk scientist will continue her work as part of the project “Impact of the presence of damage on the dynamic response of concrete elements reinforced with non-metallic composite rods in the combined time and frequency domain” financed by the National Science Center.
