Abstract: Cross-coupled controllers have been proposed for improving contouring accuracy of multiaxis machine tools. However, during cross-coupled motion control, increasing contour feedrate may result in ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring represents an efficient way to diagnose the condition of cable-stayed bridges. Most studies assessing the condition of cable-stayed bridges and detecting damage to them have been developed to ...

Abstract: Independent component analysis (ICA) has the potential to identify anomalies in structural health monitoring (SHM) data due to its non-Gaussian data-processing ability. In order to additionally take into account the dynamic ...

Abstract: Load testing is usually used to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of long-span bridges in their service life. However, a large number of calibration trucks should be arranged in complicated loading patterns to deform ...

Abstract: The design of the novel PV-Trombe wall in Hefei is theoretically processed in this paper. The area of winter air vents and width of PV-Trombe wall are determined, the effects of two improvements ...

Abstract: Coupled fatigue and corrosion is more detrimental for RC bridge deck slabs than either fatigue or corrosion separately. The main objectives of this study are to obtain a greater understanding of the deterioration mechanisms ...

Abstract: It is essential to diagnose, i.e., detect and isolate, potential sensor faults for structural health monitoring to guarantee reliable condition evaluations. This paper proposes an innovative method called weighted ...

Abstract: The negative stiffness (NS) phenomenon and additional supplemental damping (AD) were proposed and investigated in recent years. Despite the bulk of literature on the base shear reduction for structures with the NS at the ...
