Many modern thermal processing systems involve temperature control of heated plates. In many systems such as Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and epitaxial deposition (Epi) systems, the plates are often thick carriers or susceptors on which one or more...

A Finite Element (FE) model which can precisely predict the actual dynamic responses of a bridge is necessary for accurate condition assessment and health monitoring purposes. However, most of the bridge FE models initially developed for design purposes may not be...

Many modern thermal processing systems involve temperature control of heated plates. In most Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) systems, the ‘plate’ is a single wafer that is heated from one or both sides by an array of tungsten halogen lamps. In many other systems such...

Bridges are an important societal resource used to carry vehicular traffic within a transportation network. As such, the economic impact of the failure of a bridge is high; the recent failure of the I-35W Bridge in Minnesota (2007) serves as a poignant example. ...

In this paper we focus on the optimal placement of sensors for state estimation-based continuous health monitoring of structures using three approaches. The first aims to minimize the static estimation error of the structure deflections, using the linear stiffness...
