Our paper “smooth mode decomposition: Theory and its applications in full-field output-only modal analysis” was published by the Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing. Highlights Smooth mode decomposition (SMD) identifies the normal modes from system outputs. The spatial differential operator endows SMD to identify smooth modal strucutures SMD-identified modes approximate normal modes of systems with nonuniform […]

Geometry-informed phase space warping for reliable fatigue damage monitoring
Our paper titled “Geometry-informed phase space warping for reliable fatigue damage monitoring” was published online by the Structural Health Monitoring. Here’s the abstract: This paper presents a new fatigue damage detection and monitoring approach using a geometry-informed implementation of phase space warping (PSW). The proposed method is based on continuous-time PSW theory and geometric constructs, […]

The apps Notion and Obsidian are becoming indispensable tools for research, archival, and manipulation of personal knowledge and projects. In our lab, we focus on these two apps, but some others have similar capabilities, and you may find they work better for you in certain cases. Notion Tutorials Using databases in the notion(83) Notion Databases – Full Course for […]

At the NLD, we standardize on a LaTeX package for preparing technical documents starting from reports and papers to theses and dissertations. We use an online LaTeX typesetting tool Overleaf (at https://www.overleaf.com/). To familiarize yourself with LaTeX and Overleaf, I recommend you watch these LaTex Tutorials on YouTube. We also have a basic NLD paper […]

Hewenxuan Li 1. Introduction It is vital for researchers to present their work and convey their ideas to help inspire other researchers and guide them to the state-of-the-art. This often requires one to publish their work in a scientific journal, which is peer-reviewed to make sure that, at least, no fundamental flaws or plagiarism is […]
