Introduction to Discrete Signals and Inverse Problems in Civil Engineering

Presented in this state-of-the-art book are procedures for the analysis of signals and the characterization of systems in civil engineering. These two topics are at the core of several fast-growing areas in civil engineering today, including non-destructive testing, system identification, image processing, local or remote monitoring, smart structures, dynamic loading, and feedback control systems in transportation and structural engineering. Ideal as a reference, this book contains step by step implementation procedures and examples which outline computation algorithms and experimental methods.
