Verification of Damage Detection Algorithm by Prototype Building Structure Test

Multi-Damage Detection for Steel Beam Structure

Damage detection has been focused by researchers because of its importance in engineering practices. Therefore, different approaches have been presented to detect damage location in structures. However, the higher the accuracy of methods is required the more complex deliberations. Based on the conventional studies, it was observed that the damage locations and its size are associated with dynam...

Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

The Use of a Software Prototype for Verification Test Generation

The software prototype model can be used for the generation of the verification test. The input stimuli, which form essential activity vectors, are selected from randomly generated ones on the base of software prototype. The essential activity vectors correspond to the terms of logical functions of output the existence of which is tested during the verification. The verification test is formed ...

On the Desing and Test of a Prototype of Biped Actuated by Shape Memory Alloys

In this paper the design of a biped robot actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs with minimum degrees of freedom is presented. SMA springs are a class of smart materials that are known for their high power to mass and volume ratios. It was shown that utilizing spring type of SMAs have many advantages as large deformation, smooth motion, silent and clean movement compared to ordinary typ...
