Abstract The given project is to benchmark typical preparation methods under the aspect of the influence of initial intrinsic stresses inside electric components. Raman spectroscopy has been applied as well as the piezo resistive readout on a specifically designed model stress monitoring chip.

Previous studies examining the relationship between the groundwater table and seismic velocities have been guided by empirical relationships only. Here, we develop a physics-based model relating fluctuations in groundwater table and pore pressure with seismic velocity variations through changes in effective stress. This model justifies the use of seismic velocity variations for monitoring of the pore pressure. Using a subset of the Groningen seismic network, near-surface velocity changes are estimated over a four-year period, using passive image interferometry. The same velocity changes are predicted by applying the newly derived theory to pressure-head recordings. It is demonstrated that the theory provides a close match of the observed seismic velocity changes.

Stress is a known contributor to several life-threatening medical conditions and a risk factor for triggering acute cardiovascular events, as well as a root cause of several social problems. The burden of stress is increasing globally and, with that, is the interest in developing effective stress-monitoring solutions for preventive and connected health, particularly with the help of wearable sensing technologies. The recent development of miniaturized and flexible biosensors has enabled the development of connected wearable solutions to monitor stress and intervene in time to prevent the progression of stress-induced medical conditions. This paper presents a review of the literature on different physiological and chemical indicators of stress, which are commonly used for quantitative assessment of stress, and the associated sensing technologies.

Abstract Structural monitoring plays a key role for underground structures such as tunnels. Strain readings are expected to report structural conditions during construction and at the final delivery of the works. Furthermore, it is increasingly requested an extension to long-term monitoring from contractors with possible use of the same system in service during construction. A robust and efficient monitoring methodology from discrete strain measurements is the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM), which allows to reconstruct the structural response without input data on the load pattern applied to the structure as well as material and inertial properties of the elements and therefore it is interesting for structural configurations affected by uncertain loading conditions, such as the tunnel. The formulation presented in this paper, based on the iFEM theory, is improved from the previous work available in literature for both the shape functions used and the computational procedure. Indeed, the approach allows to overcome inconsistencies related to structural loading conditions and a pseudo-inverse matrix preserve all the rigid body modes without imposing specific constraints which is typical for tunnels. Numerical validation of the iFEM procedure is performed by simulating the input data coming from a tunnel working in a heterogeneous soil under different loading conditions with direct FEM analysis.
