A new measuring system has been developed and implemented for assessment of railway bridges based on measurements of the structural response to passing trains. The system uses inertial sensors: Inclinometers and accelerometers that do not need any referential points. The system records signals related to the passage of a train over a monitored bridge. The signals from inclinometers before the train's entry are used to determine the static movement. Integrated signals from inclinometers and accelerometers are used to determine dynamic displacements when the train goes through the bridge. Signals from inclinometers are used to determine the so-called "quasi-static" component of the displacement and signal from the accelerometer to determine the dynamic component. Field tests have been carried out on a viaduct along a high-speed railway line. Periodic comparative measurements are carried out using a Total Station to verify static measurements and using inductive sensors to verify dynamic measurements. Tests of the system carried out so far have proven its usefulness for monitoring bridges in a high-speed railway (up to 200 km/h) with high accuracy while determining dynamic displacements. Keywords:bridge monitoring, dynamic and static displacements, inertial sensors, total station, indirect measurement Affiliations:

2. | Kokot M.♦, Holnicki-Szulc J., Defect identification in electrical circuits via the virtual distortion method. Part 1: steady-state case, JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT MATERIAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES, ISSN: 1045-389X, DOI: 10.1177/1045389X09337169, Vol.20, No.12, pp.1465-1473, 2009 Abstract: Virtual Distortion Method, a numerical technique originally developed and applied to various optimization problems in structural mechanics, is adapted to DC/AC circuit analysis. Electro-mechanical analogies with discrete models of plain truss structures are utilized to introduce and implement the main concepts of the method. Simulation of conductance modifications in circuit elements by the equivalent set of virtual sources is a foundation of numerically effective algorithms enabling fast re-analysis and sensitivity analysis. Inverse problem of defect identification is discussed and solution based on distortion approach is provided. Keywords:optimization, embedded intelligence, structural health monitoring Affiliations:

The proposed approach takes adventage of the analogy linking mechanical models of truss structures and electric circuits. In this paper we cover the issue of modelling defects in electric circuits by compatible state of distortions, next we introduce the concept of influence matrix Dij, which describes global sensitivity of the circuit and enables fast recalculation of system response, and we formulate a gradient method of defect identification (inverse problem) based on local current and voltage measurements. In the following analysis we focus on so-called impotent states of distortions, which are the source of ambiguity of solution. We show that these difficulties can be overcome by a proper measuring strategy. Keywords:Defect Identification, Electric Circuits Monitoring, Inverse Problem Affiliations:

The monitoring system is focused on steel structures with the spans exceeding 30 m. The elaboration of the method which uses inclinometers together with an accelerometer for indirect displacement measurement under the dynamic load is the main achievement of the project.
