Abstract: In this paper, a method for designing and fabricating broadband vibration absorbers (BBVAs) for structural noise control is described. The BBVA’s consist of a series of cantilevered masses, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a statistical study on the actual imperfections and their relations to the strength of webplates and their stiffeners of bridge superstructures. The field measurements, data acquisition, and processing ...

Abstract: raindrop size distribution (DSD) retrieval method for a dual-polarization radar at attenuating frequency is proposed. The proposed method is developed such that the range profiles of the gamma DSD parameters, an intercept ...

Abstract: This study proposes a new deterministic off-line identification method that obtains a state-space model using input and output data with steady state values. This method comprises of two methods: ...

Abstract: raindrop size distribution (DSD) retrieval method for a weather radar network consisting of several X-band dual-polarization radars is proposed. An iterative maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for DSD retrieval in a single ...

Abstract: Identification of overweight vehicles has been increasingly important due to the need for accurate information of actual live load, which is required for fatigue assessment of highway steel bridges. This study proposes a ...

Abstract: Nanofibers can be used in fields/applications such as medical care, environment protection, apparel, and agriculture. In addition, we believe that this field would continue to show substantial growth in the future. In this ...

Abstract: short-baseline weather radar network consisting of Ku-band broadband radars (BBR) for meteorological application is under development. The BBR is a short-range and high-resolution Doppler radar for meteorological application, ...
