Research Statement

Kiremidjian's current research focuses on the design and implementation of wireless sensor networks for structural damage and health monitoring and the development of robust algorithms for structural damage diagnosis that can be embedded in wireless sensing units. She works on structural component and systems reliability methods; structural damage evaluation models; and regional damage, loss and casualty estimation methods utilizing geographic information and database management systems for portfolios of buildings or spatially distributed lifeline systems assessment with ground motion and structure correlations.

Summary: Development of Wireless Structural Monitoring Systems with Rotation-based Embedded Damage Diagnosis Algorithm for Near Real Time Structural Damage Detection Immediately after a Major Earthquake. Detail: Following the success of the wireless structural monitoring system first developed in 1995 jointly with Dr. Erik Straser, Professor Teressa Meng of electrical engineering, Professor Ed Caryer of mechanical engineering, and Tom Kenney of mechanical engineering, professor Kiremidjian and her current students are developing a wireless sensor for direct damage identification in near-real time after a major earthquake. As part of this development they are designing and building a sensing system that will be tested on bridge specimens at the Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Nevada Reno. The algorithms utilize recorded response motions at critical locations on a structure that has been subjected to a strong earthquake motion.
