Smart structures in amplifing the power flow between two oscillators Ghent University
Absorption of vibration energy has two omportant applications: the protection of structures against environmental hazards and the use of renewable energy from natural sources. This research develops a semi-active vibration absorption control strategy to alter the parameters of smart materials such as magneto rheological or electro rheological fluids such that absorption capacaty can be improved.

Smart Casting of conrete structures by active control of rheology Ghent University
Concrete production processes do not take full advantage of the rheological potential of fresh cementitious materials, and are still largely labour-driven and sensitive to the human factor. SmartCast proposes a new concrete casting concept to transform the concrete industry into a highly automated technological industry. Currently, the rheological properties of the concrete are defined by mix design and mixing procedure without any further ...

Strategic Research Programme: Smart Structural Health and Usage Monitoring Strategies for Key Technologies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The initial SRP OPTIMech was focused on Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT). This research track was very successful with respect to scientific output, visibility, external funding and valorisation (IOF BruWind). This renewed SRP project will ...
