Applied Bayesian Pre-Posterior and Life-Cycle Cost Analysis for Determining and Optimizing the Value of Structural Health Monitoring for Concrete Structures KU Leuven
The general aim of this research is to develop a methodology for rational decision making in the management of existing structures, so that the limited resources for the management of infrastructure can be optimally deployed. A life-cycle perspective will be adopted, allowing decisions on strategies for inspection, monitoring and strengthening. Relevant uncertainties, which are unavoidable in the condition assessment of existing structures as ...
Voi-based optimization of structural assessment for spatially degrading RC structures Ghent University KU Leuven
On the structural dynamics of laminated composite plates and sandwich structures; a new perspective on damping identification KU Leuven
This paper presents the modelling and the dynamic characterisation of laminated composite plates and sandwich structures in terms of stiffness and damping. The developments used in this paper are based on the analytical multilayer model of Guyader and Lesueur (JSV, 1978). The model considers linear shear, membrane and bending effects in each layer. The characteristics of the structure are determined by means of an equivalent thin plate ...
