Abstract: Reconstructing damage geometry with computationally efficient and effective algorithms is of primary importance in establishing a robust structural health monitoring (SHM) system. In this paper, Born imaging algorithm is ...

Abstract: A 40‐degree‐of‐freedom displacement‐type rectangular finite element for shear deformable flat plates is presented. The element includes transverse shear effects, is fully conforming, may be orthotropic, and has a stiffness ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic (VE) damper is usually vulcanized by mixing polymer matrix, additives, and fillers, all of which have a great influence on the viscoelastic response of the material. In this study, a series of novel samples ...

Abstract: A steel strand wire mesh (SSWM)–reinforced engineered cementitious composite (ECC), referred to as SSWM-ECC, is a promising composite material for structural strengthening owing to the combination of the high strength of ...

Abstract: Because shock absorbers are an important component of high-rise buildings, it is essential to be able to detect damage to them. Viscoelastic (VE) dampers, as a common shock absorber, directly affect the safety and reliability ...

Abstract: A miniature wind turbine (MWT) has received great attention recently for powering low-power devices. In this paper, a physics-based comprehensive model for predicting the performance of a miniature horizontal axis wind ...
