It has come to my attention that some of you might not fully
comprehend my proposed research. I am
having difficulties identifying how I can present this topic with more clarity.
It would be appreciated if you could offer some insight…
Currently I am working on a revised version of my proposal.
I will try to use less technical terminology but there is only so far I can go
while still remaining professional. It
has occurred to me that a lot of you do not know what rope access is. Below I
have included links giving brief descriptions of this specialized trade.
Rope access (ask.com)
Rope access techniques (youtube.com)
After reading these articles and watching the video I hope
that you have a better understanding of this profession and how it will be used
to carry out the on-site portion of my research.
Hey Matt,
ReplyDeleteCan the vibration technique be used for the cables used on bridges too?
Interesting stuff!
Yes, the technique can be used on bridges but the process is completely different. With bridges the cables can be accessed from the deck so rope access is not required. Also the instrumentation for measuring is different, the use of lasers for measurement is more common place than accelerometers. This gives more accurate readings... Lasers could be used similarly with tensile roof structures but the problem is you still need to access the cables to cause the reverberations and it may be hard to get a clear shot of the cable from the ground due to obstructions such as inner layers of fabric. It is just simpler to attach an accelerometer to the cable while you are already there.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the final product once you are done writing your report will be both interesting and innovative. I believe I understand the concept thanks to your relation with tuning a guitar.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see more posts describing in detail with pictures different concepts and ideas behind your theory. Some other details on other projects they use vibration methods and how you can relate them to tensile load within cables. Perhaps a post describing the "Tri-axel Accelerometer" to me it just sounds like a tricycle on NOS and cocaine.
Thank you John, I appreciate the input. I will post more about the measuring devices in the upcoming days.
ReplyDeleteI never read this type of article before. I appreciate you for the article you have written. Thanks.
