Analysis of Free Vibration Characteristics of Tapered Friction Piles in Non-homogeneous Soil Layers

This paper presents a new analytical model for estimating the free vibration of tapered friction piles. The governing differential equation for the free vibration of statically axially-loaded piles embedded in non-homogeneous soil is derived. The equation ...

Is there a relationship between footstep-impact locations and measured signal characteristics?

Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira

Building utilization can be enhanced by tracking occupants. Non-intrusive tracking of occupants using floor-vibration measurements is beneficial for many smart-building applications such as energy consumption, security enhancement, and care-giving. Also, u ...

A practical method for seismic retrofit of tall buildings with supplemental damping

Dimitrios Lignos

Current simplified design methods for buildings with supplemental damping devices are mainly based on single-degreefreedom (SDF) shear-models. Common errors of such methods are attributed to the linearization of nonlinear damping and stiffness, higher buil ...

Vibration Mode of MEMS Ultrasonic Sensors on Buckled Diaphragms with Piezoelectric Resonance Frequency Modification

Paul Muralt, Kaoru Yamashita

Vibration mode and resonance frequency of piezoelectric MEMS ultrasonic sensors was investigated on buckled diaphragm structures. The buckling of the diaphragms was introduced intrinsically through residual stress control of the piezoelectric film, and ext ...

Element location and classification following a damage event of a near-full-scale deployable tensegrity structure

Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz

Current infrastructure is designed and built such that it must resistall possible loads. This leads to overdesigned structures that are inefficient in terms energy and cost. A structure that can self-identify damage, adapt, and learn for future events resu ...

MATHICSE Technical Report: Simulation-Based Anomaly Detection and Damage Localization: an Application to Structural Health Monitoring

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Caterina Bigoni

We propose a simulation-based decision strategy for the proactive maintenance of complex structures with a particular application to structural health monitoring (SHM). The strategy is based on a data-driven approach which exploits an offine-online decompo ...

CS2 Reductive Coupling to Acetylenedithiolate by a Dinuclear Ytterbium(II) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez, Davide Toniolo

The activation of CS2 is of interest in a broad range of fields and more particularly in the context of creating new C‐C bonds. The reaction of the dinuclear ytterbium(II) complex [Yb2L4], 1, (L = (OtBu)3SiO‐) with carbon disulphide led to the isolation of ...

Improved modelling of a monomorph piezoelectric actuator for linear self-sensing applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Based on a previous approach for the modelling of piezoelectric monomorph benders, a new, more complete, analytical model is proposed. Some previously neglected features of the actuator stack, notably the thickness of the electrodes and the presence of iso ...

Free standing and solidly mounted Lamb wave resonators based on Al0.85Sc0.15N thin film

Paul Muralt, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Vladimir Pashchenko

Lamb wave microresonators with wavelengths of 5-8m, vibrating in the S0 mode, and having 75 electrode pairs were fabricated and characterized. The results were compared to theoretical predictions obtained by finite element simulation. The active material w ...

Static behavior of Reinforced UHPFRC beams with thin cover depth

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

Because of its high tensile strength and deformation capacity, UHPFRC (Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite) can theoretically be used without any reinforcement bars or prestressing. However, for more economical design and for rea ...
