    Abstract As the volume of data and data-generating equipment in healthcare settings grows, so do issues like latency and inefficient processing inside health monitoring systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) has been used to create a wide variety of health monitoring systems. Most modern health monitoring solutions are based on cloud computing. However, large-scale deployment of latency-sensitive healthcare applications is hampered by the cloud’s design, which introduces significant delays during the processing of vast data volumes. By strategically positioning servers close to end users, fog computing mitigates latency issues and dramatically improves scaling on demand, resource… More >

    Saqlain Abbas1,2,*, Zulkarnain Abbas3, Xiaotong Tu4, Yanping Zhu2

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.5, pp. 43-56, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jai.2023.040948 - 22 September 2023

    Abstract Structural health monitoring (SHM) is considered an effective approach to analyze the efficient working of several mechanical components. For this purpose, ultrasonic guided waves can cover long-distance and assess large infrastructures in just a single test using a small number of transducers. However, the working of the SHM mechanism can be affected by some sources of variations (i.e., environmental). To improve the final results of ultrasonic guided wave inspections, it is necessary to highlight and attenuate these environmental variations. The loading parameters, temperature and humidity have been recognized as the core environmental sources of variations… More >

    An Overview of Seismic Risk Management for Italian Architectural Heritage

    Lucio Nobile*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.5, pp. 353-368, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.028247 - 07 September 2023

    Abstract The frequent occurrence of seismic events in Italy poses a strategic problem that involves either the culture of preservation of historical heritage or the civil protection action aimed to reduce the risk to people and goods (buildings, bridges, dams, slopes, etc.). Most of the Italian architectural heritage is vulnerable to earthquakes, identifying the vulnerability as the inherent predisposition of the masonry building to suffer damage and collapse during an earthquake. In fact, the structural concept prevailing in these ancient masonry buildings is aimed at ensuring prevalent resistance to vertical gravity loads. Rarely do these ancient… More >

    Abstract Damage detection is an important area with growing interest in mechanical and structural engineering. One of the critical issues in damage detection is how to determine indices sensitive to the structural damage and insensitive to the surrounding environmental variations. Current damage identification indices commonly focus on structural dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency responses. This study aimed at developing a technique based on energy Curvature Difference, power spectrum density, correlation-based index, load distribution factor, and neutral axis shift to assess the bridge deck condition. In addition to tracking energy and frequency More > Graphic Abstract
