Optimal Characteristics of Inspection Vehicle for Drive-by Bridge Inspection
A. Calderon Hurtado, E. Atroshchenko, K. C. Chang +2
Drive-by inspection for bridge health monitoring has gained increasing attention over the past decade. This method involves analysing the coupled vehicle-bridge response, recorded…
Design of Piezoelectric Metastructures with Multi-Patch Isogeometric Analysis for Enhanced Energy Harvesting and Vibration Suppression
Patricio Peralta-Braz, Mehrisadat Makki Alamdari, Mahbub Hassan +1
Metastructures are engineered systems composed of periodic arrays of identical components, called resonators, designed to achieve specific dynamic effects, such as creating a band…
Design of thermal meta-structures made of functionally graded materials using isogeometric density-based topology optimization
Chintan Jansari, Stéphane P. A. Bordas, Marco Montemurro +1
The thermal conductivity of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) can be efficiently designed through topology optimization to obtain thermal meta-structures that actively steer the…
A New Architecture for Energy Efficient Fault Detection Using Energy Harvesters
Dongti Zhang, Patricio Peralta-Braz, Chun Tung Chou +3
The current battery-powered fault detection system for vibration monitoring has a rather limited lifetime. This is because the high-frequency sampling (typically tens of kilo-Hertz…
Optimal design of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters for bridge infrastructure: Effects of Location and Traffic Intensity on Energy Production
Shaui Yao, Patricio Peralta-Braz, Mehri Makki Alamdari +3
Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) can be used as an additional power supply for a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. Its design can be optimised for the best performan…
Level set topology optimization of metamaterial-based heat manipulators using isogeometric analysis
Chintan Jansari, Stéphane P. A. Bordas, Elena Atroshchenko
We exploit level set topology optimization to find the optimal material distribution for metamaterial-based heat manipulators. The level set function, geometry, and solution field…
