Abstract Power supply for medical implantable devices (i.e. pacemaker) always challenges not only the surgery but also battery technology. Here, we report a strategy energy harvesting from heart motion by using ultra-flexible piezoelectric device based on lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics that has most excellent piezoelectricity in commercial materials, without any burden or damage to hearts. Experimental swine are selected vivo test with different settings, i.e. opened chest, close...

During the life cycle of a bridge, dynamic impacts due to random traffic loads and deteriorated road surface conditions can induce serious fatigue issues for bridge components. It is necessary, more realistic than deterministic approach, use reliability methods treat input parameters as variables vehicle-bridge system. This paper presents framework assessment existing bridges in lifetime serviceability considering effects vehicle speed road-roughness condition. Since each truck passage might...

In this study, a new three-dimensional model was developed to provide better understanding of the mechanism for wave-induced seabed response around mono-pile. Based on poro-elastic theory, fully dynamic formulations were adopted in present simulate pore pressure, soil stresses and displacements both Good agreement between numerical simulation experimental results obtained. parametric concluded that (1) wave diffraction reflection have significant effects pressure mono-pile; (2) largest...

The vehicles moving on a bridge excite vibration and can also serve as response receivers because the vehicle dynamic contains information of bridge. A methodology was proposed in previous study for extracting modal properties, such natural frequencies shapes, from responses. specialized test consisting tractor two following trailers developed which towed by along were used receivers. responses one trailer with time shift subtracted other to obtain residual that then processed fast Fourier...

Wind farm–atmosphere interaction is complicated by the effect of turbine array configuration on momentum, scalar and kinetic energy fluxes. arrays are often arranged in rectilinear grids and, depending prevailing wind direction, may be perfectly aligned or staggered. The two extreme configurations end members with a spectrum infinite possible layouts. A farm finite length modeled as an added roughness canopy large-scale weather climate models. However, it not clear which analogy physically...

During a bridge’s life cycle, the stresses from multiple dynamic loads might be superposed and progressive fatigue damage accumulate induce serious issues. This paper presents comprehensive framework for reliability analysis of long-span bridges under combined vehicles wind. After modeling complicated structure details with equivalent orthotropic material, stress ranges bridge are obtained via solving equations motion vehicle-bridge-wind system random variables considered, instance, vehicle...

Slender bridges, often built in harsh coastal environments, may experience dynamic loadings from strong winds and high waves. Busy traffic is expected during normal operating conditions evacuation events before extreme weather or emergency-related conditions. Understanding the dynamics of complex vehicle-bridge-wind-wave (VBWW) system critical to safety both vehicles bridges. For present study, an analytical model was developed evaluate performance coupled VBWW system. First, bridge...

Fatigue damage of coastal slender bridges resulting from strong winds and high waves can accumulate during extreme hurricane or winter storm events lead to possible catastrophic failures in a bridge's lifecycle. With the transient, nonstationary features waves, interactions winds, be complicated because nonlinear nature structural system fluid–structure interactions. For accurate coupled dynamic analysis, simulation wind wave fields around structures under weather conditions is necessary....

During extreme weather and other emergency conditions, the safety resilience of overhead power distribution system is essential for communities. Quick detection damaged poles wires as well quick recovery from outages in a limited time period requires better understanding structural performance interactions structures with surrounding environmental such wind vegetation conditions. In present study, pole-wire was analyzed after establishing analysis framework reliability hardening/inspection...
