Machine learning algorithms have been applied to address a variety of engineering and scientific problems. The Internet has historically been prone to failures and attacks that significantly degrade its performance. To detect such anomalies, efforts are made to create datasets from data collected by initiatives such as RIPE, Route Views, and IODA. Creating these datasets... Read more →

Pedestrian bridges are typically lighter and more flexible compared to other types. Consequently, they are more sensitive to loading and often the effects are more noticeable. Some of them have been observed to generate unusual vibrations under regular loading conditions. The causes of all cases are discussed with options presented to reduce vibrations of lightweight...
