Summary: The DFOS technique based on Rayleigh scattering was chosen for the first Polish FRP composite bridge as the basic SHM system, and its validation through proof load tests and FEA showed that it is accurate and reliable for monitoring FRP bridges. Additional strain measurement techniques were implemented to validate DFOS, and the comparison of measurement profiles with FEA results also supported the reliability and accuracy of the DFOS technique for FRP bridge monitoring.

Summary: This study presents the results of an experimental campaign on the applicability of a smartphone-based technique for bridge monitoring. The vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI)-based approach is used to estimate the natural frequencies of bridges, with the aim of developing a low-cost and widely applicable infrastructure monitoring system. The results demonstrate that smartphone sensors can reliably record the accelerations of vehicles on bridges for determining the modal properties of the bridge.

Summary: Bonded repairs for aerospace composite structures have high strength recovery rate and good strength to mass ratio. Flush repairs, such as scarf and stepped repairs, are the most suitable for load-carrying structures as they provide maximum repairs efficiency and a smooth aerodynamic surface. The design of these repairs is challenging due to their complex failure behavior. This paper reviews existing work on flush repair design, including experimental results and modeling approaches. Recent investigations focus on optimization, durability, and reliability, aiming to reduce repair size while maintaining strength and improving confidence in composite bonded repairs.
