A Review of Ambient Vibration Technique on Bridges

Ambient Vibration Tests of Structures − a Review

A literature review on the subject of ambient vibration testing is presented, and a review of a recent study to illustrate state-of-the-art in the application of the ambient vibration method. Reports on testing of full-scale structures by the ambient vibration method began to appear regularly around 1970, with about 3/4 of all contributions devoted to the experiments in buildings, dams, chimney...

the impact of peer review on efl reviewers writing proficiency

امروزه تصحیح همکلاسی در کلاسهای نگارش یکی از اجزاء لاینفک کلاسهای دانش آموز محور است. تاثیرات مفید تصحیح همکلاسی بر زبان آموزان، معلمان را متقاعد کرده است که علیرغم صرف زمان، انرژی و توان بسیار، از این شیوه ی آموزشی در کلاسهای آموزش نگارش بهره بگیرند. تحقیق حاضر بر آن است تا با مقایسه دو گروه از یادگیرندگان زبان انگلیسی، تاثیر تصحیح همکلاسی را بر توانایی نوشتاری آنها نشان دهد. 122 خانم زبان آمو...

A Study of Dynamic Characteristics of a Multistory Building Using Ambient Vibration Tests (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Dynamic characteristics of a typical multistory building in Iran have been studied in two different stages of building construction, using ambient vibration tests. Finite element models have also been used to determine these characteristics and to verify test results. The results indicated the agreements and also differences between conventional theoretical models and the behaviour of real stru...

On energy harvesting from ambient vibration

Future MEMS devices will harvest energy from their environment. One can envisage an autonomous condition monitoring vibration sensor being powered by that same vibration, and transmitting data over a wireless link; inaccessible or hostile environments are obvious areas of application. The base excitation of an elastically mounted magnetic seismic mass moving past a coil, considered previously b...
