\chapter{LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATION} \section{Literature Review} \input{chapters/id/02_literature_review/literature_review/abdeljaber2017} \section{Theoretical Foundation} \input{chapters/id/02_literature_review/theoritical_foundation/stft} \input{chapters/id/02_literature_review/theoritical_foundation/machine_learning} \bigskip These theoretical foundations provide the methodological framework for implementing and evaluating the proposed damage localization system in this research. The combination of time-frequency analysis using STFT and classical machine learning classifiers enables an efficient and interpretable approach to structural health monitoring.
