- A Bridge Structural Health Monitoring and Data Mining System
- Structural Health Monitoring SHM is becoming a more widely accepted way to improve bridge management. Off late, a fiber optic SHM system was developed and deployed by the Iowa State University Bridge Engineering Center to continuously monitor bridge performance under ambient traffic loads and to detect potential gradual deterioration or...

- The physics of beer bubbles
- Yesterday, I told you about virtual beer. Today, let's follow two North America researchers who are studying the physics of real beer bubbles. 'Singly scattered waves form the basis of many imaging techniques such as radar or seismic exploration.' But pouring beer in a mug involves multiply scattered acoustic waves....

- Data-Logging and Supervisory Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Wireless Sensor Networks WSN are being increasingly used in a multitude of applications such as environmental and structural health monitoring, and condition-based maintenance. Even though the sensors collect a vast amount of data, only a tiny fraction of this data may be useful. This paper proposes a data-logging & supervisory...

- NASA's future inflatable lunar base
- If you think that future NASAs moon camps need to have a science fiction look, you might be disappointed. Today, NASA is testing small inflatable structures. In fact, if these expandable tents receive positive reviews, astronauts will camp on the moon as early as 2020. These 12-foot (3.65 meter) diameter...

- How to avoid train derailments
- Do you know that there are more than 2,200 annual train derailments in the U.S.? One third of these accidents can be attributed to hard-to-find defects in steel railroad tracks. Now researchers at University of California at San Diego UCSD have developed a new ultrasonic technology to find defects in...
