This study proposes an improved bonding method for attaching a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on surface of a structure to measure its dynamic strains. The improved bonding fiber Bragg grating is called IBFBG for short in this study. The bonding method provides the chance to let the IBFBG and resistance strain gauge measure the longitudinal strain at the same point. This study use two steel cantilev...

Strain measurement and vibration analysis of a rotating blade are critical for the progress in improvements of the performance of machines. Since traditional sensors and measurement methods have difficulty measuring the rotor blade’s dynamic strain and vibration, the search for new measurement methods has become an urgent task in rotor machine monitoring and diagnosis. This paper presents a new...

Linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by Galerkin numerical approach. Constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. Linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...

High strength hydraulic concrete was introduced based on its thermo-dynamic and strain-stress characteristics. The compound exponential thermo-dynamic creep model was established. The temperature rise models were interpreted. The bisection constitutional model was deduced as the approach to express the strain-stress non-linearity of high strength hydraulic concrete. The key parameters on thermo...

in the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. the cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axisymmetrically on the boundary surfaces. m...

The analysis of foundation vibrations and geotechnical earthquake engineering problems in civil engineering requires characterization of dynamic soil properties using geophysical methods. Dynamic structural analysis of the superstructures also requires knowledge of the dynamic response of the soilstructure, which, in turn relies on dynamics soil properties. Machine vibrations, blasting and seis...
