Abstract: Vibration-based methods are promising for damage identification; however, their capabilities for damage identification under temperature variations are usually limited. In the paper, a vibration-based nondestructive global ...

Abstract: Annoying vibrations in grandstand structures have been receiving more attention due to the increasing slenderness of the architectural components and the complexity of the crowd loading for engineers. The vibration ...

Abstract: Pipelines can be subjected to bending loads due to a variety of factors such as seismic activity, slope instability, or discontinuous permafrost. Experimental studies of Sen et al. [1–3] showed that pipelines can fail under ...

Abstract: Train-mounted vertical track deflection (VTD) measurements offer new opportunities for estimating rail bending stresses over long distances. The estimations are possible because of mathematical correlations among rail ...
