Behavior of seismic isolation device during excessively large earthquakes

This study deals with behavior of seismic isolation device during excessively large earthquakes such as nonlinear behavior of rubber bearings.

Seismic assesment focused on energy

This study develops a seismic assesment method using energy that can evaluate cumulative damage by earthquakes.

R&D of Tuned Mass Damper for excavators

In Japan, excavators are used for demolitions of buildings, and cause ground vibration duaring operation. Therefore we research and develop a Tuned Mass Damper to reduce uncomfortable vibration induced by excavators

Soundness assesment of wire rope using image processing

This study develops system using image processing that can measures diameter of wire ropes.

R&D of health monitoring system for pipe

Pipes in a factory or a chemical plant may be damaged by erosion and corrosion as a result of a long term operation, and these damages induce stops of operation or other severe damages. This study develops a system that detects damages inside pipes by processing vibration measured during operation.
