Closing the Loop: The Integration of Structural Vibration Monitoring in Engineering Design Practice

本研究课题的目标是开发一种技术，通过这种技术，结构的使用和性能（其特征是对载荷的振动响应）可以被纳入类似结构系统的设计过程中，这是为了在设计者和他们所创建的结构的性能和操作使用之间建立一个反馈回路。通过这样做，结构工程师可以继续从他们过去的结构中学习，使用这些信息来塑造未来的设计，提高结构系统的效率和许多结构计算所依据的假设的有效性。

The objective of the proposed research topic is to develop a technique through which the use and performance of a structure, as characterised by its vibrational responses to loading, may be incorporated into the design process for similar structural systems.This is seeking to create a feedback loop between the designer and the performance and operational use of the structures which they create. Through doing so, structural engineers may continue to learn from their past structures, using the information to shape future designs, improving both the efficiency of the structural system and the efficacy of the assumptions which underlie many structural calculations.
