Damage Alarming

A structural damage alarming method is proposed using empirical mode decomposition. The basic idea of this method is that with respect to the intact model and damaged models, the energy redistribution of the intrinsic mode functions decomposed from the structural response can represent the variation of the structural dynamic characteristics caused by the structural damage. By taking the Benchmark test model as the research object, the structural dynamic responses from the hammer-impact tests are collected then the damage alarming parameters and the damage alarming indices are evaluated. The experimental results reveal that the structural damage alarming indices based on empirical mode decomposition is able to effectively detect the structural initial damage with preferable damage alarming capacity.

Low Exposure

The features of digital recording of a continuous series (movie) of singleelectron TV frames are reported. The technique is used to investigate structural changes in negatively stained glutamine synthetase molecules (GS) during electron irradiation and, as an ultimate goal, to look for the molecules' “undamaged” structure, say, after a 1 e/Å2 dose.The TV frame of fig. la shows an image of 5 glutamine synthetase molecules exposed to 1/150 e/Å2. Every single electron is recorded as a unit signal in a 256 ×256 field. The extremely low exposure of a single TV frame as dictated by the single-electron recording device including the electron microscope requires accumulation of 150 TV frames into one frame (fig. lb) thus achieving a reasonable compromise between the conflicting aspects of exposure time per frame of 3 sec. vs. object drift of less than 1 Å, and exposure per frame of 1 e/Å2 vs. rate of structural damage.
