A new resistance bridge has been built at the Laboratoire national de m\'etrologie et d'essais (LNE) to improve the ohm realization in the $Syst\`eme International$ (SI) of units from the quantum Hall effect. We describe the instrument, the…
Vibrational energy harvested from the bridge excitation due to the traffic flow or the wind load can be supplied to sensors in a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system and help prolong its service life, reduce chemical battery waste and…
We introduce a new measure for the stability of structures, such as the cross-section of the deck of a suspension bridge, subject to a 2D fluid force, such as the lift exerted by a laminar wind. We consider a wide class of possible flows,…
For any given number of crossings $c$, there exists a formula to determine the number of 2-bridge knots of $c$ crossings, and indeed it is a simple matter to actually construct presentations of these knots. However, the determination of…
The extension of piezoresistance coefficient extraction method was proposed, for protection from errors in estimation of the thickness of the test structure membrane. This new approach requires finding models of elements of matrix of…

This study introduces a simplified model for bridge-vehicle interaction for medium- to long-span bridges subject to random traffic loads. Previous studies have focused on calculating the exact response of the vehicle or the bridge based on…
