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…
