3D LES simulations of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder: Effects of the grid resolution (2019)
Journal Article
Álvarez, A., Nieto, F., Nguyen, D., Owen, J., & Hernández, S. (2019). 3D LES simulations of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder: Effects of the grid resolution. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 192, 31-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2019.06.012

Vortex induced vibration (VIV) is an important phenomenon which appears in flexible structures immersed in a moving fluid. This oscillation is self-sustained and self-limited, but VIV might cause fatigue damage and affect the structure's serviceabili...

Design and implementation of a new system for large bridge monitoring—GeoSHM (2018)
Journal Article
Meng, X., Nguyen, D. T., Xie, Y., Owen, J. S., Psimoulis, P., Ince, S., …Bhatia, P. (2018). Design and implementation of a new system for large bridge monitoring—GeoSHM. Sensors, 18(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/s18030775

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a relatively new branch of civil engineering that focuses on assessing the health status of infrastructure, such as long-span bridges. Using a broad range of in-situ monitoring instruments, the purpose of the SHM... Read More about Design and implementation of a new system for large bridge monitoring—GeoSHM.
