Seven forced vibration tests were performed on an isolated single span of a freeway overpass structure. The tests performed were in conjunction with a series of states of controlled damage and repair. The work focused on horizontal forced vibration on the deck utilizing an eccen…
Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more widely used in both military and civilian applications. Some of the largest UAVs have power systems equivalent to that of a military strike jet making power management an important aspect of their design. As they have developed, the…
One of the issues complicating the reliability assessment of structural health monitoring (SHM) methodologies slated for implementation under field conditions for damage detection in conjunction with typical infrastructure systems, is the paucity of experimental measurements fro…
Wind-induced vibration is a major concern for tall buildings. Failure to limit the vibration of tall buildings subject to moderate to extreme wind loads could lead to structural damage, occupant discomfort or even catastrophic failure. As average height of tall buildings is obse…
The main purpose of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the assessment of structural conditions in aerospace, mechanical and civil systems. In structural engineering, damage is defined as any permanent change in the structural and geometric properties of a system caused by an …
Techniques used in Structural Health Assessment (SHA) are assessed. The dynamic cases of SHA are looked at thoroughly and can be further separated into time domain and frequency domain-based approaches. Frequency domain approaches are defined as approaches that compare modal par…
