| Research Abstract |
For the safety management of small and medium bridges, structural health diagnostics need to be carried out with efficiency and precision. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) visualization system of a bridge’s condition was developedusing multi physical sensors located at multiple points on the bridge. Our system isportable and inexpensive because it involves the use of data connection by a Wi-Fi device and the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology. As an application, the 3D dynamic behavior of the bridge were visualized with the vibration data obtained from the acceleration MEMS sensor. The natural vibration modes, including the bending and torsional higher-order modes, can be identified by applying digital narrow-band filters to the visualization results of the bridge. A vibration experiment was performed on a pedestrian bridge in Japan. The vibration modes obtained from the experiment showed good agreement with the numerical results obtained by a finite element method.
