Digital Image Techniques for Volume Change Measurements in Triaxial Tests
This paper presents an innovative technique that has been used for measuring the volumetric deformation that cylindrical specimens experience during the shearing stages of a triaxial test....
Computer Vision Techniques for Comparing Laser Doppler Velocimeter Scans of a Vibrating Plate to Analytical Plate Modes
Computer vision procedures were applied to velocity images of a vibrating square steel plate. A scanning laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) measured the images of low frequency resonant operating...
Image Enhancement: Application to Geotomography
Image enhancement complements geotomographic reconstruction in the rendering of better images. In this paper, available image enhancement techniques are reviewed. Emphasis is given to...
Displacements in the Soil Near a Tunnel Face Using Centrifuge Tests and Image Processing
Image processing is applied to measurements of the soil for a tunnel model in centrifuge. For this aim a specifical device has been developed on the LCPC centrifuge (Nantes, France) and...
Application of Digital Images and Processing for As-Built Construction Drawings
The production of as-built drawings is a labor intensive activity that often provides the facility owner with inaccurate or incomplete final drawings. This paper briefly reviews work accomplished...
Image Analysis Applied to Geotechnical Engineering
Application of scanning electron microscope and image analyzer to the quantification of grain morphology and microfabric of aged sands is briefly reviewed. Relationships of morphology...
Evaluation of Runway Roughness for Fighter Jets
A new roughness evaluation procedure is needed, especially, when dealing with modern fighter jets. To this end, a comprehensive pilot attitude survey was conducted in Israel in order to...
Heavy Aircraft Damage to Rigid Airport Pavements
A theoretical solution is presented for the damage caused by heavy aircraft at the transverse joints in a rigid airport pavement. Large stresses in the subgrade generate significant permanent...
Regeneration?Potentially Powerful Stuff
Virtually all Automated People Movers (APMs) use electrical power for propulsion. Many designs also use electrical braking to augment any mechanical braking devices for decelerating trains....
