Damage Detection in a Timber Beam

Li Jianchun; Choi Fook Choon; Samali Bijan; Crews Keith (Engineering Technics Press, 2006)

Many timber bridges in Australia are old and structurally deficient. To avoid catastrophic failure of structures, development of a reliable damage identification and structural health monitoring for these bridge structures ...

Damage evaluation of a repaired timber beam using modal-based method

Samali Bijan; Li Jianchun; Crews Keith; Choi Fook Choon (CRC Press/Balkema, 2011)

For bridge structures, global damage evaluation and structural health monitoring using modal based damage identification methods have dominated recent worldwide research. However, to date there are few works reported on ...

Damage Evaluation of a timber Beam Using a Modal-based Method

Choi Fook Choon; Li Jianchun; Samali Bijan; Crews Keith (Taylor & Francis (Balkema), 2007)

In Australia, many timber bridges are old and increasingly experience deterioration, aging and traffic overloading problems. These have attracted attention of researchers to evaluate the current state of such bridges. ...

Damage Identification based on MOdal Strain Energy utilising Nerual Network Ensembles

Dackermann Ulrike; Samali Bijan (The Meeting Planners, 2008)

Damage Identification in Timber Bridges Utilising the Damage Index Method and Neural Network Ensembles

Dackermann Ulrike; Li Jianchun; Samali Bijan (Engineers Australia, 2009)

Many of Australia's timber bridges are in aged and decayed conditions. In order to ensure the reliability of these structures and the safety of the public, condition assessment, damage detection and safety evaluation is ...

Damage Identification of Timber Bridge Using Vibration Based Methods

Li Jianchun; Samali Bijan; Choi Fook Choon; Dackermann Ulrike (Institute of Noise and Vibration, University of Technology Malaysia, 2005)

In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid to the declining state of the aging infrastructure around the world including Australia. The ability to detect damage at their early stage can reduce the costs and ...

Damage Identification on a Numerical Two-Storey Framed Structure using Ambient Vibration Response Analysis and Artificial Neural Networks

Dackermann Ulrike; Li Jianchun; Samali Bijan (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 2011)

This paper presents a damage identification method based on ambient floor vibration measurements in multi-storey buildings. The proposed method uses ambient response vibration data to fannulate a damage index based on ...

Damage Localisation and Severity Evaluation of a Beam-like timber Structure based on modal strain energy and flexibility approaches

Li Jianchun; Choi Fook Choon; Samali Bijan; Crews Keith (Engineering Technics Press, 2006)

Modal-based damage identification techniques have been widely used for structural damage evaluation. In nany cases, they were claimed to be successful in detecting, locating and quantifying of damage in structures. One ...

Damage Severity Assessment of Timber Bridges using Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)

Dackermann Ulrike; Li Jianchun; Samali Bijan; Choi Fook Choon; Crews Keith (Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, 2011)

This paper presents a novel vibration-based technique that utilises changes in frequency response functions (FRFs) to assess advancement of damage in timber bridges. In the proposed method, damage patterns embedded in FRF ...

DAML: Domain Adaptation Metric Learning

Geng Bo; Tao Dacheng; Xu C (IEEE-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011)

The state-of-the-art metric-learning algorithms cannot perform well for domain adaptation settings, such as cross-domain face recognition, image annotation, etc., because labeled data in the source domain and unlabeled ...

Damper windings in induction machines for reduction of unbalanced magnetic pull and bearing wear

Dorrell David; Shek Jonathan; Mueller Markus; Hsieh Min-Fu (IEEE, 2011)

In large induction machines (such as cage large induction motor pumps in the petro-chemical industry and cage or wound-rotor induction generators in wind turbines) reliability and longevity is advantageous. This is ...

The damping effect of magnetorheological elastomers on dynamic absorber for powertrain vibration reduction

Hoang Nga; Zhang Nong; Du Haiping (University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, 2009)

The effect of damping of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) on effectiveness of Adaptive Tuned Vibration Absorber (ATVA) for vehicle powertrain torsional steady vibration reduction is presented in this study. The MRE used ...

Damping enhancement of liquid column vibration absorbers for structural control

Mayol Eugenio; Samali Bijan; Kwok Kenny; Wood G; Mack Austin; Hitchcock Peter (A. A. Balkema Publishers, 2002)

Vibration control studies have shown that the Liquid Column Vibration Absorber (LCVA) has the potential to reduce vibrations of a structure subjected to unwanted excitations such as wind and earthquake. One drawback ...

Damping of plasmons of closely coupled sphere chains due to disordered gaps

Scheurer Mathias; Arnold Matthew; Setiadi Jeffry; Ford Michael (American Chemical Society, 2012)

The damping of plasmons due to structural disorder may have important practical consequences. Here, we use spherical harmonic expansions to quantify the damping of plasmons of ensembles of closely coupled sphere chains ...

'The Dance of the Visible and the Invisible': AIDS and the Bande Dessinee

Pratt Murray (Rodopi, 2005)

Making links between HIV and Comics may not be an obvious thing to do. What connections can there be between, on the one hand, what is arguably the epidemic with the greatest impact this century, affecting an estimated ...
