*** 9500116 Westermo This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will design and install several prototype, earthquake damage instrumentation systems (based on a new technology for non-destructive evaluation) into private and commercial structures. Strain Monitor Systems, Inc. (SMS) is developing a unique, patented technology for the safety and damage assessment of materials. In Phase I, prototype sensors were constructed and tested in the laboratory for their effectiveness at discerning seismically-induced peak strains and deflections. The results have shown that the technology will provide a simple, inexpensive approach for safety monitoring. Phase II will expand the research to include the complete installation and operation of systems in several different types of structures. Systems will be designed and installed into | 1) several private residences, 2) the Marin County, California, Civic Center, Hall of ! Justice building, and 3) the Los Angeles I-10 to I-405 Interchange bridge. The system will be able to monitor the sensors on-demand, either automatically or manually, and they will be used as evaluation platforms from which to demonstrate the technology. The technology provides a simple, reliable, and inexpensive means of assessing earthquake damage. The ability to quickly and quantitatively discern the level of damage (and the potential for failure during an aftershock) within a structure has good commercial potential. Such information will reduce repair costs to a damaged structure as well as provide a means for the quick and accurate determination of a structure's safety. ***

*** 9500116 Westermo这个小型企业创新研究二期项目将设计和安装几个原型，地震破坏仪器系统（基于一种新的无损评估技术）到私人和商业结构中。应变监测系统公司（SMS）正在开发一种独特的专利技术，用于材料的安全和损伤评估。在第一阶段，建造了原型传感器，并在实验室测试了它们在识别地震引起的峰值应变和挠度方面的有效性。结果表明，该技术将为安全监测提供一种简单、廉价的方法。第二阶段将扩大研究范围，包括在几种不同类型的结构中完成系统的安装和操作。系统将被设计和安装在bbbb1)几个私人住宅，2)马林县，加州，市民中心，大厅！司法大楼，以及3)洛杉矶I-10至I-405交汇桥。该系统将能够按需自动或手动监控传感器，它们将被用作演示该技术的评估平台。这项技术提供了一种简单、可靠、廉价的评估地震破坏的方法。快速和定量地识别结构内部的损坏程度（以及余震期间的潜在故障）的能力具有良好的商业潜力。这些信息将降低受损结构的修复成本，并为快速准确地确定结构的安全性提供了一种手段。＊＊＊
