    摘要: The present invention includes a method for detecting impairments of a structure in the absence of permanent sensor systems comprising: obtaining time-varying sensor data on a user device; filtering the time-varying sensor data obtained by the user device to determine a vibration response from structural infrastructure; and estimating structural responses of the structure by comparing at least one of: dynamic (short-term) sensor data to an analytical model of the structure; or dynamic sensor data from different user devices at different points in time (long-term), to determine if there has been any significant change in the structure with time.

    摘要: The present invention includes an apparatus and method for determining time-varying stress experienced by a structure comprising: obtaining images that include the structure; segmenting the second and any subsequent images to include the “static” portions that are identified from the first image; computing with a processor the affine transformations between the first and second, and optionally subsequent images, sequence of images; estimating a deformation (i.e. translation and rotation) undergone by the structure; and converting the deformation to estimate the structural stress by using one or more scaling functions) to generate the time-varying stress experienced by the structure.
