Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) creates tremendous value for civil engineering through information integration. Not only does it make the formulation of data storage strategies more important at the beginning of a civil ...

Abstract: In this paper, a damage detection strategy based on distributed strain responses measured by long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is investigated. First, the distributed strain modes of a system with multiple degrees ...

Abstract: The frequency dependence modeling of viscoelastic (VE) materials faces the challenge of high modeling accuracy over a wide frequency range and double-objective optimization in model parameter identification. To address ...

Abstract: Guided wave technology shows excellent capacity in the damage identification of the pipeline. In practical inspection, the detection ability is greatly reduced due to the interference echo signal from the feature structure ...

Abstract: With the rapid development of utility tunnels, fire safety after construction is increasingly important, especially in the cable compartment. An intelligent fire detection method based on the particle swarm optimization ...

Abstract: The study of material failure phenomena with coupled multiple scales is a need and a challenge. The fundamental difficulty in these problems is due to multiscale bridging material parameters and damage, which ensure that ...

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: Pipelines are widely used as an economical transmission mode in petroleum transportation, ocean engineering, aerospace engineering, and nuclear industry. However, pipelines are potentially susceptible to vibration in ...

Abstract: As one of the most promising smart materials, magnetorheological (MR) gels have been widely applied in the vibration mitigation of engineering structures. An accurate and effective model for MR gels is of great significance ...
