Sinopsis

Bridge Sensors explores how sensor technology is revolutionizing bridge maintenance through structural health monitoring. Imagine bridges capable of signaling danger before it strikes, a concept this book brings to life by examining how embedded sensors can prevent catastrophic failures. The book highlights the critical role of proactive, sensor-driven monitoring in ensuring the long-term safety of aging bridge infrastructure, a necessity given increasing traffic loads. It examines how traditional visual inspections are enhanced, and sometimes replaced, by smart sensor networks, capable of detecting minute changes in structural integrity.

 
The book progresses from the basics of aging infrastructure and bridge vulnerabilities to the specifics of sensor technology, data analysis, and real-world applications. It investigates different types of sensors, like strain gauges and fiber optic sensors, detailing their operation and placement, and explores data analysis techniques, including machine learning, to predict bridge lifespan.

 
Case studies demonstrate the practical benefits and challenges of implementing structural health monitoring systems, illustrating the economic and social impacts of these technologies on civil engineering and transportation infrastructure.

The Word of Dog - What Our...

Mark Rowlands

A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
 
 
 
If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
 
 
 
In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.
