  • Method for analyzing structure safety
    Patent number: 8640544
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for analyzing structure safety, and the method uses valid vibration measurement signals to obtain mutual feedbacks for a structural model analysis and a calibrated structural model to simulate a disaster situation to obtain the critical force exertion and deformation scale of a structure. The method is applied to capture the stability index of the structure to analyze the structure safety or applied for a structure safety evaluation or a health monitoring, or even for a structure multi-hazards safety determination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2014
    Assignee: National Taiwan University of Science and Technology
    Inventors: Wei-Feng Lee, Cheng-Hsing Chen, Yi-Chun Lai, Hsing-Tai Mei
  • Bridge monitoring and safety evaluation method using a vibration technique
    Patent number: 8290718
    Abstract: The invention relates bridge structure safety evaluation technology by means of combining vibration measuring and structural model analysis techniques for bridge erosion evaluation and pre-warning monitoring applications. This technology can also be applied for long-term bridge structure monitoring and safety evaluation as well as judgment and evaluation of rail structure abnormality.
