Voltage-Based Unsupervised Learning Framework for Bridge Damage Detection in Simultaneous Energy Harvesting and Sensing Systems
S. Yao, P. Peralta-Braz, A. Calderon Hurtado +3
In this study, piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) are designed to offer dual functionality in structural health monitoring (SHM): harvesting electric power from bridge vibratio…
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…
Simultaneous Energy Harvesting and Bearing Fault Detection using Piezoelectric Cantilevers
P. Peralta-Braz, M. M. Alamdari, C. T. Chou +2
Bearings are critical components in industrial machinery, yet their vulnerability to faults often leads to costly breakdowns. Conventional fault detection methods depend on continu…
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…
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…
On the Joint Optimization of Energy Harvesting and Sensing of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters: Case Study of a Cable-Stayed Bridge
Patricio Peralta-Braz, Mehrisadat Makki Alamdari, Rafael O. Ruiz +2
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) are typically employed to provide additional source of energy for a sensing system. However, studies show that a PEH can be also used as a se…
Design optimisation of piezoelectric energy harvesters for bridge infrastructure
Patricio Peralta-Braz, Mehrisadat Makki Alamdari, Rafael O. Ruiz +2
Vibrational energy harvested from the bridge excitation due to the traffic flow or the wind load can be supplied to sensors in a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system and help…
