For 20 years of development, the virtual distortion method (VDM) has proved to be a versatile
reanalysis tool in various applications, including structures and truss-like systems. This …

This paper presents an in situ implementation of the weigh‐in‐motion (WIM) concept for the
railway transport. The presented WIM system constitutes a part of a larger structural health …

The purpose of the paper is to study the effect of selected design parameters on crashworthiness
of the struck ship. The dynamic collision process is simulated by the ABAQUS/Explicit …

Mass reduction of automotive components enhances vehicles’ performance and extends
their driving range. However, lightweight construction typically leads to noise and vibration …

This paper presents results of in situ investigation of a railway truss bridge in the context of
structural health monitoring (SHM). Three experimental methods are examined. Dynamic …

The paper provides an overview of the development of a railway bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM)
system, one of the first of its kind for weighing trains in motion. A steel truss bridge in …

Application of adaptive structural interfaces (members with actively controlled local
properties) as energy dissipaters is discussed. It is demonstrated that the optimal strategy of …

The paper is a continuation of research on the application of a structural reanalysis method—the
virtual distortion method—to structural health monitoring. The first approach, formulated …

A health monitoring tool for leakage identification in water networks is presented. It is assumed
that the water heads at the network’s nodes can be measured in different locations of …

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a fast-developing, interdisciplinary field of research
having its roots in vibroacoustics and non-destructive testing and evaluation. Fast development …
