Abstract:

Evidence indicates that the vertical component of ground motion is more significant than previously thought, especially for near fault events. However, many design codes do not reflect the importance of the vertical component of ground motion. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to determine what effects the vertical component of ground motion has on a structure by way of comparison. Specifically, structural response due to the lateral components of ground acceleration is compared to structural response due to all three components of ground acceleration. Structural response includes t

Abstract:

The work of this thesis focuses on how to construct a smooth and periodic motion from motion capture data of a motion with a periodic structure, such as walk cycles. To identify periodic structures in the motion capture data we rely on previously developed methods from algebraic topology to project each frame of the motion capture data onto a circle. This gives us a description of how the periodic motion looks structurally. To construct a typical periodic motion from this projection we propose a harmonic regression model on the positional joint rotations. To prevent overfitting of the regressi

Abstract:

<p> Regions of the U.S. have different tectonic environments and, correspondingly, seismic ground motion characteristics can vary significantly across the country. Structures’ seismic risk depends greatly on these characteristics, which can significantly influence structural seismic response. Current seismic design procedures and many typical assessments only consider ground motion intensity at a structure’s fundamental period, and not motion characteristics like frequency content and ground motion duration.

Cells synthesize proteins, the molecular instruments of all cellular processes, via intermediate biomolecules that are susceptible to damage at every step. Known as the central dogma of molecular biology, genes encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are transcribed, spliced, and matured into messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). These nucleic acids direct protein synthesis by the pairing of nucleotide triplets with transfer RNA (tRNA). tRNAs concomitantly decode the so-called codon, as they escort the correct amino acid to the ribosome for extension of the nascent polypeptide chain.

Abstract:

This study presents a ground-motion selection and scaling procedure that preserves the inherent uncertainty in the modified recordings. The proposed procedure provides a set of scaled ground-motion records to be used in the response estimation of structural systems for a pre-defined earthquake hazard level. Given a relatively larger ground-motion dataset, the methodology constrains the selection and scaling of the accelerograms to the differences between individual records and corresponding estimations from a representative ground-motion predictive model. The procedure precisely calculates the

Assessing tall building oscillation is a multidisciplinary area involving knowledge from different fields of study: structural engineering, wind engineering, reliability, and even human physiology, to name a few.

This context leads to a situation where these slender structures are sensitive to dynamic effects from wind loads and where human comfort is often the prevailing criterion

These aspects make the general SfM problem under-constrained and the solution subject to missing or incomplete data.

Abstract:

This master thesis investigates the difficulties of constructing a depth map using one low resolution grayscale camera mounted in the front of a car. The goal is to produce a depth map in real-time to assist other algorithms in the safety system of a car. This has been shown to be difficult using the evaluated combination of camera position and choice of algorithms. The main problem is to estimate an accurate optical flow. Another problem is to handle moving objects. The conclusion is that the implementations, mainly triangulation of corresponding points tracked using a Lucas Kanade tracker, p

Abstract:

The field of bridge monitoring is one of rapid development. Advances in sensor technologies, in data communication and processing algorithms all affect the possibilities of Structural Monitoring in Bridges. Bridges are a very critical part of a country’s infrastructure, they are expensive to build and maintain, and many uncertainties surround important factors determining their serviceability and deterioration state. As such, bridges are good candidates for monitoring. Monitoring can extend the service life and avoid or postpone replacement, repair or strengthening works. The amount of resourc
