Determination of vibration parameters of a large-scale structure by measuring the visibility changes on the time-averaged images of a sinusoidal pattern fixed on it
Abstract:Specification of vibration modes, amplitudes, and damping coefficients of structures are crucial issues in civil and mechanical engineering. Several techniques have been used for this kind of studies, including holographic interferometry, speckle interferometry, and moiré technique. But, for a large-scale structure, the modal analysis technique is usually used. We use the time-averaged digital image of a sinusoidal pattern fixed on a vibrating 6-m iron I-beam to study in-plane vibration. The study includes spe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
