Online IOMAC Lectures
LECTURE 01
TITLE: Examples of application of SHM on earthquake and blast environment
SPEAKER: Rubén Boroschek. Professor. Civil Engineering Department. University of Chile
DATE: October 8th. 2020.
LECTURE 02
TITLE: Structural Modification Prediction in an OMA Enviroment
SPEAKER: Joerg Bienert, Professor Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI - Univ. of Applied Sciences) Germany
DATE: October 29th. 2020.
LECTURE 03
TITLE: Future aspects of SHM
By: Rune Brincker, Guangli Du, Evangelos Katsanos, Sandro Amador.
DATE: Thursday, March 4, 2021 - 17:00
Abstract:
We will present a philosophical discussion on why and how we can imagine OMA based solutions for structural health monitoring (HSM) to appear in the future. We will consider the status of the SHM marked and practice, and discuss the different automated facilities that needed in order to take full advantage of the OMA based technology. Then we will discuss the concept of white and black swans, white swans being a symbol of normal operation according to our expectations, and black swans being a symbol of un-expected hazardous events and the related problem of immediate damage detection afterwards. Finally, we will discuss the concept of information and why we imagine SHM will be needed in the future.
LECTURE 04
TITLE: Modal test planning and fe-test correlation
SPEAKER: Eddy Dascotte
DATE: Thursday, March 25, 2021 - 17:00
Eddy Dascotte obtained a master degree in civil engineering from the University of Brussels, Belgium (1984).
He has authored or co-authored more than 40 papers in the field of finite element model validation and updating since 1987.
LECTURE 05
TITLE: Strain based OMA; Application to damage assessment
SPEAKER: Guido De Roeck, Edwin Reynders, Dimitrios Anastasopoulos
DATE: Thursday, April 29, 2021 - 17:00
Guido de Roeck is Professor emeritus of the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), past head of the Structural Mechanics Section and author of more than 500 scientific journal and conference papers. He is a world-famous expert in vibration based damage detection, dynamic system identification and soil structure interaction and vehicle bridge interaction. More specifically, the research of Structural Mechanics Section is notorious for the pioneering work in operational modal analysis, combined deterministic-stochastic subspace identification, fully automated (operational) modal analysis, derivation of uncertainty bounds on modal parameters from stochastic subspace identification, damage assessment by model updating.
The Section is also very much engaged in extensive experimental work on buildings and bridges to apply and validate the developed algorithms. In one of the recent projects sub-microstrain FBG data have proven to identify very accurate modal strains which will allow the detection of small local damage.
Professor Guido De Roeck was coordinator of EC Brite Euram project “System Identification to Monitor Civil Engineering Structures (SIMCES)”, participated to the European projects RFCS “Fatigue damage control and assessment for road and railways bridges (FADLESS)” (2009-2012) and RFCS “DEsign for opTimal life cycle costs (LCC) of high-speed rAILway bridges by enhanced monitoring systems (DETAILS)”, and was lecturer in the Marie Curie course SICON TC3 on ”Experimental dynamics model identification and damage detection” (2008) and the CISM course on ”New trends in vibration based structural health monitoring” (2008).
The Structural Mechanics Section is frequently cooperating with (inter)national industrial partners on short and long term research projects. The Section has been and is a key partner.
