Modal Shapes Selection Criterion for Modal Reconstruction Aimed at Structural Health Monitoring by Gabriele Liuzzo, Miriam Parisi, Pierluigi Fanelli

“…The analytical model relies on the definition of internal strain potential energy, enabling the calculation of the energy contribution of each mode derived from a modal analysis to the actual static deformation of the structure. The modal selection is designed to reconstruct the displacement and strain fields under linear elastic conditions, assuming small displacements and strains. …”

Metal additive manufacturing of damage-controlled elements for structural protection of steel members by Hamdy Farhoud, Islam Mantawy

“…This paper develops hybrid steel members by integrating additively manufactured, ultra-lightweight, damage-controlled elements (DCEs) into hot-rolled structural steel members. This approach relies on segmenting a structural member into distinct sections; one or two segments are enlarged to be capacity protected; however, another end or middle DCE segment is optimized to emulate the conventional member’s strength and stiffness. …”

Analysis of Structural Response of Subway Shield Tunnel Lining under the Influence of Cavities by Yufeng Shi, Zhaoyang Chen, Duqiang Wei, Tao Zhang, Xuming Zhou, Xiushao Zhao, Junhao Hu, Yuhang Zhou

“…The existence of cavities behind the shield tunnel lining can cause cracking, broken pieces, water leakage, and other problems, which reduces the durability and safety of the shield tunnel segment structure. In order to clarify the mechanism of cavity damage, a more systematic study of the effects of cavities on the shield tunnel lining structure from the angle, depth, and the number of cavities is carried out using model tests and numerical simulations without considering the effects of the stiffness reduction effect at the tunnel segment joints and groundwater seepage in this paper. …”
