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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An intervention aimed at improving the success rate of at-risk students in three key secondyear electrical-engineering courses covering, respectively, the topics of circuit theory, electronics and electromagnetics is ...

This chapter is devoted to the development of a decentralised model predictive control (MPC) strategy for splitting parallel systems that have timevarying and unknown splitting ratios. The large-scale system in consideration ...
