Abstract This work presents the development of a data-driven digital twin at sensor level for structural health monitoring of a metallic suspension bridge in Portugal, with a focus on local validation of strain sensors ...

Abstract This editorial consists of a synopsis of the research in the Special Issue on “Superconductors and Magnetic Materials”, specifying the studies and highlighting main results and conclusions. This collection of ...

Abstract A novel methodology to evaluate railway track support conditions is currently being developed. This methodology is based on modal analysis of the multi-element system composed by the railway infrastructure and ...

This paper presents the design and compares the performance of linear, decoupled and direct power controllers for three-phase matrix converters operating as Unified Power Flow Controllers (lIPFC). A simplified steady-state ...

ln this paper a predictive control strategy in conjunction with sem i-active control algorithms are proposed for damping control of base isolation systems employing semi-active fluid dampers when subjected to earthquakes. ...

Base isolation systems have been proposed for reducing the transmission of seismic forces and energy to buildings when subjected to earthquake loads. Passive devices are ofien prescribed to reduce displacements at the ...
