A wide range of applications such as health, human comfort, agriculture, food processing
and storage, and electronic manufacturing, among others, require fast and accurate …

The accumulated irreversible deformation in pavement under repeated vehicle loadings will
cause fatigue failure of asphalt concrete. It is necessary to monitor the mechanical response …

A structural health monitoring (SHM) study of biaxial glass fibre-reinforced epoxy matrix
composites under a constant, high strain uniaxial fatigue loading is performed using fibre …

Structural deformations are one of the most significant factors that affects machine tool (MT)
positioning accuracy. These induced errors are complex for accurate representation by a …

Most safety problems of architectural structures are caused by structural deformation, and
the structures usually deform in more than one direction. So it is important and necessary to …

Self-sensing concrete has the capability to sense the conditions inside it and environmental
change including stress (or force), strain (or deformation), crack, damage, temperature, and …

The demand on high-speed weigh-in-motion (WIM) measurement rises significantly in last
decade to collect weight information for traffic managements especially after the introduction …

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensor system that measures strains from reflected power
changes of FBGs is presented. A laser diode used as a light source and a power meter are …

Transportation infrastructure networks form the lifeline of a nation's economy. These critical
infrastructure systems are expected to deteriorate over time due to repeated traffic loading …

On-site pavement structural-performance monitoring is a challenging task. High accuracy,
large coverage, and good reliability of the embedded sensors are the key factors to ensure …
