Many major infrastructures have been constructed to meet the growing demand of rapid and heavy inter-city passages and freight transportation. These structures are important to the economy, and significant loss will be incurred if they are out of service. Therefore some sort of health monitoring system is included as part of the management system of the structure to ensure their smooth operation. This talk will first introduce the integrated structural health monitoring framework and its key issues. Some of recent research on the embedded sensor technique development and dynamic assessment of structural systems in operating conditions will be discussed. Lecture2： Fatigue Strength of Welded Joints Dr. Fidelis R. Mashiri Fatigue failure is a major concern in structures subjected to cyclic loading under service. Structural systems of equipment used in the road transport and agricultural industries such as trailers, swing ploughs and road sign supports are susceptible to fatigue failure under service. Mining equipment such as dragline structures also have structural systems that are subjected to a significant number of loading and unloading cycles. They are therefore also prone to fatigue failures under service. This presentation will discuss some of the recent research undertaken to further understand the behaviour of welded connections applicable to structural systems in the road transport, agricultural and mining industries. This research focuses on high cycle fatigue behaviour of welded thin-walled connections made up of cold-formed high strength steel as well as dragline clusters. 专家介绍： Dr Xinqun Zhu Xinqun was awarded the PhD degree at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2001. Then he worked as a research fellow at the University of Manchester, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Western Australia about 7 years. Currently, he is a lecturer in Structural Engineering at the University of Western Sydney. His research interest is primarily in structural dynamics, especially in structural health monitoring and condition assessment, vehicle-bridge/road/track interaction analysis, damage mechanism of concrete structures and smart sensor technology. He has published over 100 articles, including 2 books and 41 international journal papers. His significant contribution is condition assessment of civil infrastructure in operational environment that was published in a book by Taylor & Francis. Dr. Fidelis R. Mashiri Fidelis is a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Western Sydney. From 2006 to 2008 he was a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Tasmania. Prior to that Fidelis obtained his PhD from Monash University in 2001. He subsequently worked at Monash University for 5 years as a research fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering and the Maintenance Technology Institute where he was involved in both research and consulting for the mining industry. Fidelis has a Master of Engineering Honours degree from the University of Wollongong and a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Zimbabwe. He has worked as a civil engineer in Zimbabwe, Chile and Australia. His research interests are in fatigue and fracture mechanics, where he published on the behavior and design of welded thin-walled joints, concrete-filled tubular joints and dragline structures.
