AboutAbout the lab
Measuring the integrity of structures without destroying them
The Yusa-Yoshioka Lab studies nondestructive testing and materials evaluation to maintain the integrity of structures.
It develops techniques that use electromagnetic phenomena and vibration to examine internal damage without destroying the object.
The lab also works on signal and image processing, probabilistic signal analysis, and, through that, the development of models for optimizing structural maintenance.
Its methods are roughly half experiments and half numerical analysis, and it also develops analog games for energy and environmental education.
Key terms
- Nondestructive testing
- Testing that examines internal flaws and damage without breaking or cutting the object
- Integrity
- The state in which a structure is undamaged and can be used safely
- Inverse analysis
- A method of computationally estimating the states or conditions that caused the signals obtained in a measurement
