Essay On AVT

1349 Words6 Pages

3.3.1.3 FEATURES OF AMBIENT VIBRATION TESTING There are several methods of determining the natural modes of vibration of structure as built. The AVT has a number of features which makes it particularly attractive over other methods. The features of AVT are given below [Wenzel and Pichler, 2005]: The instrument is light weight and portable. This permits data to be recorded at a large number of locations with very little interference with the normal flow of activity. There is no requirement for attachment of equipment to the structure with the resulting patchwork which has to be done. The levels of vibration recorded are those that the structure is constantly being subjected to and owners have no fear of damage during testing. The instrument …show more content…

Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and measure the size of these different sources. In this dissertation two different type of sensor are used for the frequency measurement (1) Accelerometer (Kinemetrics FBA-2 Episensor) (2) Short period sensors (Kinemetrics SS-1) [Passcal Instrument Centre]. Accelerometer: It also known as strong-motion sensors, are designed to measure the large amplitude, high frequency seismic waves typical of large local earthquakes, and operate in the frequency band 0 Hz to 100+ Hz. Kinemetrics FBA-2 Episensor: The Kinemetrics Episensor force-balanced accelerometer is a uniaxial surface package designed primarily for structural engineering applications. However, it can be used in a variety of applications for measuring accelerations up to ±4g and down to the ambient noise level. With full-scale recording ranges of ± 0.25 to ± 4g (user selectable) the Episensor provides on-scale recording of earthquake motions even at near-fault locations and in a wide variety of structure

    The earthquakes that have been considered are 1152, those for which a location was found in the catalogues: for 956 of them it was possible to calculate also, as additional information, the equivalent WA magnitude (MLBB). Indeed, since October 22, 2004 a Guralp 40-T BB seismometer with a period extended to 60 s was placed very close to the WA one. In addition, for 134 events recorded in the period 2010-2013 the equivalent ML was estimated both by the BB instruments placed at on the surface (MLBB) and at the bottom (MLTRI) of the cave (see Introduction). To compute the equivalent ML we have first deconvolved the BB instrument transfer function to obtain a ground displacement record and then we have convolved the signal with the WA transfer function.

    Question Set 7 A) What types of methods and tools are used to measure, document and analyze ancient fault activity along the San Andreas Fault and its associated faults? For example, how do geologists determine how long a fault has been active, how often it ruptures, its relative offset motion, and how much offset? Note that the term "ancient" means fault activity that occurred thousands to millions of years ago - long before seismologists were around. Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale: Measures the intensity of an earthquake Richter Scale: Used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake (Tarbuck, 2013)

    Another weakness is different payer requirements for certain procedures and treatment. There are various items that can prevent the clinic from obtaining revenue for its services such as not having a prior authorization, the payer deems the treatment wasn’t necessary or the payer implemented a new requirement for this treatment that was not met. These are constantly changing and it is difficult for healthcare organizations to keep up with these ever-changing policies. B3.

I would like to expect that my child would be safe from diseases that are preventable by vaccinating. Childhood vaccinations should require for all American families. There has not been enough truthful evidence that connects vaccinations with autism or any other disease; therefore, why do some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. In Nicholas Kristof’s article “The Dangers of Vaccine Denial,” Dr. Philip J. Landrian writes “that there may be environmental factors linked to autism, but these relate to endocrine disrupting chemical in consumer products, not vaccines” (Kristof’s pp3).
