He and his colleagues are working closely, he said, with the Fire Department, the Port Authority and the Transit Authority, as well as with engineers from the Thornton-Tomasetti Group, who are advising the city on the condition of structures affected by the catastrophe.
By comparing the identified parameters with the original ones, information on the health condition of structures can be derived.
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has the potential to provide quantitative and reliable data on the real condition of structures, observe the evolution of their behaviour and detect degradation.
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an emerging technology which combines advanced sensor technologies with intelligent algorithms to interrogate the "health" condition of structures in real time or whenever necessary.
The conditions of structure refinement up to ultrafine and nanocrystalline levels as a result of both shear and diffusion mechanisms of reverse α-γ transformation are determined.
The proposed hybrid method overcomes limitation of classical finite strip method only capable of handling simple end boundary conditions of structures, and it avoids the ill-conditioning when a set of standard Fourier series functions is used for buckling analysis.
The detection and sensing function involves the sensing of loading and the identification of conditions of structures (Yan et al. 20102011).
With the proposed IHSC scheme, the impulse density is proportional to the vibration intensity of the monitored structure, thus it can be used as an important indicator of the health condition of the structure.
There are ten rows in the boundary condition of the structure of the isolation tool.
III, a stress linearization should be performed to evaluate a failure condition of a structure.
