1. 16. Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges using Machine Learning : The influence of Temperature on the health prediction

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Elisa Khouri Chalouhi; [2016]
   Keywords : Damage detection; Structural Health Monitoring; Machine learning; Artificial Neural Network; Railway bridge; Environmental conditions.;

   Abstract : A method that uses machine learning to detect and localize damage in railway bridges under various environmental conditions is proposed and validated in this work. The developed algorithm uses vertical and lateral deck accelerations as damage- sensitive features. READ MORE

4. 18. Semi-Analytical Finite Element method for guided waves in civil engineering plate-like structures

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

   Author : Christian Nielsen; [2015]
   Keywords : seismics; structural health monitoring; lamb waves; SAFE; semi analytical finite element; wave guide finite element; non destructive testing; civil engineering; ultrasound; ultrasonography; comsol; wave guide; plate; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a technique called Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE). READ MORE

5. 19. Mainstream Discourse: Contrasting Perspectives on CCT Programs and Gender Equality

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Erik Broman; [2014]
