Some civil engineering-based infrastructures are planned for the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system based on their importance. Identifiction and detecting damage automatically at the right time are one of the major objectives this system faces. One of the methods to meet this objective is model updating whit use of optimization algorithms in structures.This paper is aimed to evaluate the...

three experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of bitter vetch. experiment 1 was conducted to determine the metabolisable energy content of bitter vetch. sixteen adult leghorn roosters were used. forty grams of bitter vetch were precision-fed individually to 12 roosters. in addition, 4 birds were not fed and served as a control treatment in the measurement of metabolic fecal...

Nowadays, the technology intends to use materials such as magnesium alloys due to their high strength to weight ratio in engine components. As usual, engine cylinder heads and blocks has made of various types of cast irons and aluminum alloys. However, magnesium alloys has physical and mechanical properties near to aluminum alloys and reduce the weight up to 40 percents. In this article, a new ...

The use of strain modes in structural health monitoring has been constantly increasing because their superior sensitivity to local anomalies. This study aims investigate the applicability and robustness power spectral density transmissibility (PSDT) operational modal analysis (OSMA). By noting that OSMA frequency domain is vulnerable error estimates, uncertainty quantification stemming from est...
