Center for Embedded Network Sensing

A main thrust of the seismic application is the development of algorithms for performing high spatial resolution measurements and modeling of structures using wired and wireless arrays. The UCLA Factor building is a testbed for predictive numerical modeling, wireless network, and smart event-detection developments related to structural health monitoring. Waveform data from the 72-node array in the 17-story moment-resisting steel frame Factor building are used in comparison with finite element calculations for predictive behavior.
