<p><strong>Topic of the Special Session<br /></strong></p>
<p>Monitoring the vibrations of historical buildings can provide important information about their dynamic characteristics, such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios. If the measurement is protracted over the time carrying out a long-term monitoring, the use of finite element analysis together with dynamic identification and model updating techniques can improve the knowledge of the structures in terms of mechanical characteristics of the constituent materials and structural “health”; indeed, since dynamic characteristics are affected by structural damage, the comparison between two different states, once the influence of environmental parameters has been taken into account, permit to identify the extent and location of the damage. Topics of interest in the special session include, but are not limited to,: long-term vibration monitoring campaigns on heritage structures, vibration-based damage assessment procedures, real-time monitoring systems, low-cost sensor networks, and optimization procedures for model updating.</p>

<p>N. Sanchez, V. Meruane, A. Ortiz-Bernardin, “A novel impact identification algorithm based on a linear approximation with maximum entropy.”</p>
<p>ABSTRACT</p>
<p>This article presents a novel impact identification algorithm that uses a linear approximation handled by a statistical inference model based on the maximum-entropy principle, termed linear approximation with maximum entropy (LME). Unlike other regression algorithms as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM), the proposed algorithm requires only one parameter to be selected and the impact is identified after solving a convex optimization problem that has a unique solution. In addition, with LME data is processed in a period of time that is comparable to the one of other algorithms. The performance of the proposed methodology is validated by considering an experimental aluminum plate. Time varying strain data is measured using four piezoceramic sensors bonded to the plate. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach over existing ones, results obtained via LME are compared with those of ANN and Least Square Support Vector Machines (LSSVM). The results demonstrate that with a low number of sensors it is possible to accurately locate and quantify impacts on a structure and that LME outperforms other impact identification algorithms.</p>
<p>Keywords: Impact identification, structural health monitoring, damage assessment, maximum entropy, linear approximation.</p>

<strong><span>School of Civil Environment & Mining Engineering, The University of Adelaide<br /></span></strong>
</p>
<p>
<span>The University of Adelaide has a long tradition of excellent research outcomes and collaboration between<br />
researchers in the fields of engineering. The research quality of School of Civil, Environmental & Mining<br />
Engineering is reflected in the School achieving an ERA ranking of 4, which is a performance above world<br />
standard. The School is one of the top three Schools in The Faculty of Engineering, Computer and<br />
Mathematical Sciences (ECMS). The School and Faculty well equipped structural health monitoring<br />
facilities, such as 3D scanning laser vibrometer, ultrasonic and vibration measurement equipment.</span>
</p>
<p>
<strong><span>The project:<br /></span></strong>
</p>
<p>
<span>Monitoring the safety of structures in order to improve reliability and reduce life-cycle costs is an issue of<br />
worldwide importance across a wide range of industries, such as aerospace, as well as civil and mechanical<br />
engineering. The need has motivated much research into structural health monitoring in recent years. SHM<br />
system is defined as the monitoring of a structure over time using periodically spaced measurements from an<br />
integrated system. It should ideally be able to detect and locate damage in structures, then estimate its<br />
severity and monitor its evolution over time.<br /></span>
</p>
<p>
<span>An excellent opportunity exists for civil, mechanical or applied mathematics graduates. The position is<br />
directly linked to a new ARC Project in the research area of structural health monitoring. The project<br />
explores a new methodology for structural safety diagnosis in fibre composite structures using guided wave.<br /></span>

<p>The main objective of this Special Session is to bring together researchers who develop methods for structural damage detection, location, and quantification using, among others, vibrational characteristics. These methods can integrate a boarder structural health monitoring technique or be seen as standalone techniques.
</p>
<p>
Although the main purpose is the presentation of numerical methods, numerical/experimental ones and applications of experimental techniques to damage detection are also welcomed.</p>

Project description: The goal of vibration based structural health monitoring (SHM) is to replace costly inspection campaigns by real-time instrumentation and automated data processing in order to estimate the current state of health and the remaining lifetime of structures. For damage detection, automated data-based methods using adequate statistical techniques have been developed recently. This project deals with the next level of SHM which is damage localization and focuses on the problem of cracking in prestressed concrete. The challenge is to design a data-based damage localization system based on output-only ambient vibrations. The main ingredients of the proposed method are: (i) the use of very large strain sensor networks, (ii) the development of automated and efficient data processing methods based on local spatial filters or several layers of spatio-temporal filters, and (iii) alarm triggering techniques based on unsupervised learning methods. The major innovation in this project is the use of advanced computational techniques for the creation of a large data set of virtual campaigns which are used for the design and optimization of the SHM system. In addition to these virtual campaigns, experimental developments are also foreseen, with a specific emphasis on the evaluation of different techniques for dynamic strain measurements.
</p>
<p>
<br />
Job environment: The project will be developed in the BATir (Building, Architecture and Town Planning) group of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). BATir is a joint laboratory between 4 research groups: Structural and Material Computational Mechanics, Civil Engineering and Geotechnics, Architecture, and Town planning. This association aims at creating a multidisciplinary research entity dedicated to every aspect of the art of building. In particular, this project will rely on the availability of large testing facilities (1700 square meters) and powerfull computational resources (numerous in-house and commercial finite element softwares).
</p>
<p>
Job description : Two post-doctoral positions are open for a period running from January 1st 2011 to December 31 2012.
</p>
<p>
Elligibility : The candidates should hold a PhD in Mechanical or Civil engineering and should not have been working previously in Belgium. For the first position, experience in numerical modeling preferably in the field of non-linear mechanics or vibrations is necessary. For the second position, experience in experimental vibration testing and instrumentation is required.

We have an immediate opening in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics for a postdoctoral research associate in multiscale modeling and computational mechanics. The focus of this position is on the modeling, simulation, and analysis of the nonlinear evolution of coupled macro/microstructure in failure processes, with an emphasis toward structural health monitoring. Coupled-field models using continuum damage variables will be used to study the fundamental spatiotemporal features of damage evolution, particularly regarding the nature and origin of unpredictability in damage processes. The candidate must have a solid general background in theoretical mechanics and dynamics, and be familiar with nonlinear finite element analysis<br />
and adaptive mesh refinement. Experience in dealing with fully dynamic analyses is a must.<br />
Programming on UNIX platforms and in C++ strongly preferred. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal.
