In this class, the first homework consists to collect displacements and accelerometers from the structural dynamic laboratory, analyze it, and plot it in Matlab to explain their experiment. In the semester, every other homework consists on shake table experiments, or LEWIS experiments, both in the laboratory or at home. Students need to conduct their own hypothesis and propose their sensor solution. We use LEWIS in any context you can think of: bridges, rockets, Tramway, bikes, car, and your washing machine too. We like to plan and visit the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) to have a field exposure to large dynamic laboratories where the techniques and methods we study are used in engineering.
