The study describes sensors with an inclined grid de-signed to monitor the condition of structures installed on the bridge. The aim of the study is to study the possi-bility of using the developed sensors with an inclined grid to monitor the condition of structures by checking the deformation of various parts of bridges under highway loads, as well as comparing the characteristics of sensors with an inclined grid with conventional Bragg sensors. In this paper, experimental observations show that the results of using sensors with an inclined grid are in excellent agreement with the results obtained using conventional Bragg sensors. Also, a change in the wavelength of the VBR was detected and a comparison of the deformation characteristics for measuring tem-perature without deformation and the VBR for measur-ing deformation characteristics on a sensitive Bragg sensor for 700 seconds.

This article focuses on researching new concepts of global sensitivity analysis, which are directly oriented to reliability and the limit states of structures. A primary case study is performed to compare total sensitivity indices oriented to probability and design quantiles. The obtained results show that although the values of the total indices may differ, the sensitivity ranking is the same. Contrast functions are a suitable theoretical basis for sensitivity analysis. Reliability sensitivity analysis can be performed by following the concept of standard EN 1990 using design quantiles. The design quantiles of resistance and load are a suitable alternative to directly computing the probability of failure. Global sensitivity analysis oriented to design quantiles has proven helpful in measuring the influence of input variables on structural reliability.

Designing manipulation systems where the gripper has predetermined initial and final positions is an important practical consideration in modern robotics; in other words, achieving the objective of moving the payload along a non-imposed trajectory between two given positions, with the ability to change these positions periodically. One solution to the problem is to create a one-degree-of-freedom system with adjustable parts. This approach is considered optimal in terms of its simplified control and minimum energy expenditure. The merit of the solution is that manipulation systems of this type with cyclic control have only one actuator; the simple design and the control system improve the operational reliability of the mechanical system while greatly reducing the cost of it. The present work proposes a new design concept for a planar 5R symmetrical parallel manipulator. The aim of the proposed design principle is that the two input links of the manipulator are interconnected. The last one is determined in such a way that the initial and final positions of the gripper are ensured. Thus, the obtained mechanical system, having only one actuator, ensures the movement of the gripper between predetermined initial and final positions. The dynamics of the manipulation system, in particular the balancing of shaking force and shaking moment to reduce vibration in the frame, are considered in addition to the purely kinetic aspects. Numerical simulations are used to illustrate the proposed design concept.

In all real materials, energy is dissipated during deformation. You can think of it as a kind of internal friction. The load curve for the full period does not fit into a straight line. Usually, to describe the damping in the material, a model is used in terms of the hysteresis loss coefficient, since the energy losses per period depend weakly on frequency and amplitude. At the same time, the mathematical description in the loss factor model is based on complex values, that is, it implies only the case of harmonic vibration. Therefore, this damping model can only be used for frequency-domain studies. Rayleigh damping is a simple approach to forming the damping matrix as a linear combination of the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix. This damping model is unrelated to any physical loss mechanisms. In this paper, we consider a model of a mathematical pendulum for the experimental and computational determination of the damping properties of a polymer composite material. For the experimental part, a stand was designed and created that simulates the excitation of a plate made of a polymer material. The computational repetition of the experiment was performed by the finite element method and using the analytical Runge-Kutta method of the 4th and 5th order.

The novelty of this study is a variational approach for estimating the temperature distribution in the body of a rectangular parallelepiped shape when a heat flow enters one of the faces of a rectangular parallelepiped, and heat exchange with the environment occurs on the opposite side. At the same time, options are considered when the remaining faces of a rectangular parallelepiped are thermally insulated or vice versa. My contribution of this work is that we calculated the laws of temperature distribution when dividing a rectangular parallelepiped into a different number of elements. It is shown that acceptable accuracy is achieved already by dividing the sides of a rectangular parallelepiped into three or 4 parts. In addition, a comparison of the temperature distribution law for a rectangular parallelepiped and a rod close in size, other things being equal, was carried out. Their slight difference is shown.

Although numerical simulation in fluid mechanics is undergoing a significant development due to the dazzling evolution of computing means, complex physical phenomena, such as multidimensional viscous effects in turbomachinery and cavitation, remain mysterious and attract the curiosity of several researchers. Highresolution shock captures are often obtained by the WENO family of schemes, except that in problems that depend on discontinuities and shocks, an appearance of numerical oscillations weakens its ability to provide adequate captures. The use of the characteristic construction methods prevents this type of oscillation. The present paper contributes to the numerical resolution of multi-species flows of viscous, compressible, or incompressible fluids with shocks and discontinuities. The proposed numerical model can handle various configurations with a unique method based on a conservative and consistent threedimensional finite volume scheme with an aligned mesh. The system of equations is a set of Euler equations coupled with a two-parameters generalized state equation of state in three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates. This system is solved using a Roe type approximate Riemann solver, and second-order precision is obtained using limiters. The obtained numerical results maintain a nonoscillatory flow near the discontinuities, which makes the method satisfactory and shows its accuracy and robustness in different cases.

Windows and shading devices occupy an essential part between inside and outside environment of buildings, for providing interior air quality and optimization of lighting and HVAC energy consumption. This paper aims to perform the thermal performance of double pane Electrochromic window (ECW) using Finite Element Method and the energy performance using the Building Information Modelling (BIM) tool. The thermal model of the ECW is simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics. Double pane glass with and without electrochromic (EC) layer is analyzed to obtain the average and maximum surface temperature between the top and bottom layers of the glazing. It is observed that the maximum temperature gradient is observed with EC layer. The energy performance with a double glazing and ECW for warm and humid climate is evaluated using eQUEST DOE tool. A 30 % reduction is observed in the annual energy consumption with an ECW compared to that with a double-glazing window. In addition, during the monthly evaluation of energy consumption, there is 10% reduction with the ECW compared to baseline. The appreciable thermal characteristics and the energy performance of the EC glazing proves it to be an alternative solution for normal window glazing in automated buildings for thermal comfort and lesser cooling load demand.

An understanding of the soil response to dynamic waves from the earthquakes is an important aspect of engineering safety measures against tremors. This research presents the equivalent linear site response analysis of the Miri district by using a geotechnical dataset. The main objective of this paper is to study the amplification factor for the district of Miri. Analysis of site response is critical in determining the earthquake risk and harm allocation during earthquakes. The standard penetration test ‘N’ value (SPT-N) has been used in this study. A specific soil-type relationship has been used between shear wave velocity and SPT-N value to produce profiles of shear wave velocity in each borehole site in the Miri district. For all SPT-N borehole sites, site response parameters were interpolated to produce site response maps and shear wave velocity maps in the geographical information system (GIS) environment. The research showed that the Malaysian national annex to Eurocode 8 (MNA-EC8) site class C, D and E are dominant in the Miri district. Due to the inadequacy of records of input ground motions of low-to-moderate seismicity regions, this research used an earthquake record from other locations well-matched from a target response spectrum with similar characteristics obtained from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) online database (PEER NGA). The equivalent linear method (EQL) using DEEPSOIL is an extensively researched numeric technique that is used for assessment of site response. From the results, it has been found that the amplification ratio varies from 2.1 to 4.79 and it suggests that it is vital to study the site effect in the seismic hazard assessment of the Miri district. The work also emphasizes the relationship between seismic microzonation and site response analysis in order to reduce the adverse effects of earthquakes in Miri city by planning a proper land use.

The experimental results of timber bolted connection tests for the purpose of optimizing the use of current design standard are presented. The test was conducted to investigate the structural performance of bolted connections loaded parallel to the timber grain. Both ductile and brittle failure modes were investigated to identify the governing parameters that affect the types of failures. The Meraka hardwood was chosen because it was found to be commonly used in the construction of the structural components of floor and roof diaphragms in Malaysia unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. From this study, a wood database can be established for assisting the design engineers in developing the retrofitting technique of the building, especially the timber diaphragm joint part of the wall-diaphragm connections. Eighteen characteristics of steel-wood-steel (SWS) with a single row bolted joints were tested in tension, whereas ten specimens were prepared for each connection group. From the results obtained, it can be observed that the current timber design code is far too conservative compared to the optimized design proposed in this paper.
