Features: This book takes historical architecture as the background and comprehensively applies methods from interdisciplinary fields such as engineering structures, system identification, vibration theory, vibration testing technology, and signal acquisition and analysis. By establishing structural damage mechanics and finite element models with damage coefficients, it developed a computer program specifically designed for non-destructive testing of historical architectural structures. The program features search iteration and direct inversion calculation functions, enabling quantitative calculations of damaged structures, demonstrating practical engineering applicability. It proposes the concept and methodology of using damage coefficients to quantitatively assess macroscopic damage in historical buildings and explores the use of damage indicators to quantitatively reflect the actual degree of structural damage. This achieves informatization and intelligence in non-destructive testing of historical buildings, offering new methods and approaches for non-destructive testing of historical architecture, enriching the techniques for building quality inspection, and contributing to further research on non-destructive testing of historical buildings in China. This book is suitable for scientific researchers, engineering technicians, building quality inspectors, faculty members, and graduate and undergraduate students in the field of civil engineering.
