Abstract: Videographic flux mapping has been used to characterise the focal flux distribution of the 400 m2 solar concentrator located at the Australian National University. Peak fluxes in the focal ...

Abstract: The distribution of surface normal deviations from an ideal shape on concentrating solar surfaces is used to define the optical quality of a reflector. These distributions can be modeled by ...

Abstract: Historic highlights and milestones are presented to cover the development and application of the Euler formula for buckling strength of a geometrically perfect column together with modifications for inelastic behavior. The ...

Abstract: In a previous paper, the results of photogrammetric measurements of a number of paraboloidal reflecting surfaces were presented. These results showed that photogrammetry can provide three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Close range photogrammetry is a sensing technique that allows the three-dimensional coordinates of selected points on a surface of almost any dimension and orientation to be assessed. Surface ...

Abstract: A two-story, steel moment frame building that was severely damaged during the Northridge earthquake (1994) is studied in detail. Immediately following the earthquake, the building was judged unsafe for occupancy due to a ...

Abstract: Digital close range photogrammetry has proven to be a precise and efficient measurement technique for the assessment of shape accuracies of solar concentrators and their components. The combination ...
