Displacement and stress monitoring of a Panamax containership using inverse finite element method (2016, methodology): “Moreover, Cerracchio et al. (2013, 2015a) has recently improved the original iFEM formulation of Tessler and Spangler (2003, 2005) by adding the kinematic assumptions of recently developed Refined Zigzag Theory (Tessler et al., 2009, 2010) in order to perform SHM of multi-layered composite and sandw”
