Structural Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the safety and longer service life of structures through mechanics and data.
AboutAbout the lab
Shaping the future of structures with mechanics and data.
The Structural Systems Lab studies structures that are subject to changes in various forces, temperatures, and environments, from the perspectives of structural mechanics and data science.
In addition to devising new structural systems, the lab evaluates the performance of existing structures and explores ways to keep them in use for a long time.
It aims to develop things that serve people's lives and keep them safe in harsh environments, as well as in new environments unlike any before.
Recent undergraduate and master's theses have dealt with damage to bridges managed by local governments, bridge modeling using point cloud data, and observation of bridge vibration.
Key terms
- Structural mechanics
- The field that studies how buildings, bridges, and other structures deform when forces act on them, and how much load they can withstand
- Data science
- The field that uses statistics and machine learning to draw useful insights from large amounts of data
- Point cloud data
- A large collection of points representing the positions of an object's surface, obtained from laser scanning or photographs
