in this paper, the capabilities of displacement curvature derived from static response data for finding the location and severity of damage in euler-bernoulli beams are assessed. static response of a beam is obtained using the finite element modeling. in order to reduce the number of measured nodal displacements, the beam deflection is fitted through a polynomial function using a limited number...

In this paper, full scale load test of a horizontally curved steel box-girder bridge is carried out in order to detect structural defects, which reportedly result in unwanted vibrations in nearby buildings. The bridge is tested under the passage of six heavy vehicles at different speeds, so as to determine its static and dynamic responses. A total number of one hundred and two (102) sensors are...

one of the most challenges in parallel computing is how to balance the load over participated processors. Imbalance states usually increase the execution time and thus decrease the performance and minimize the utilization of computing resources. Two main types of load balancing strategies are discussed in literature; static and dynamic. Few works were focused to combine both of them as hybrid s...

Experiments to determine the horizontal static bearing capacity are carried out first. The static bearing capacity is a reference for choosing the amplitudes of dynamic load. Then a series of experiments under dynamic horizontal load are carried out in laboratory to study the influences of factors, such as the scales of bucket, the amplitude and frequency of load, the density of soils etc.. The...

This paper analyzes the dynamic and static balancing of non-homogenous cluster architectures, simultaneously analyzing the theoretical parallel Speedup as well as the Speedup experimentally obtained. Three interconnected clusters have been used in which the machines within each cluster have homogeneous processors although different among clusters. Thus, the set can be seen as a 25-processor het...

Many parameters such as dynamic load of tractor drive wheels influence the traction of tractors. An increase in dynamic load of drive wheel increases the net traction, but excess dynamic load decreases the tractive efficiency that must be avoided. Development of tractor-mounted implements due to good maneuvering and weight transfer from front axle to rear axle led to effective performance of tr...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to improve our understanding of static and dynamic lower extremity sensory perception and the impact of sensory impairments on the control of walking in stroke survivors. METHODS Using a custom, real-time unloading system, we tested load perception at heel strike, mid stance and push off in 10 stroke survivors and compared their performance to 10 age-matched and 5 y...
