IMPLEMENTATION OF BIOMIMICRY FOR DETECTING COMPOSITE STRUCTURE DAMAGE USING IMPEDANCE-BASED NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHOD

Up to date, biomimicry has aided in designing novel ideas and solving various problems in the field of civil engineering.For example, the concept of a load carrying process from a tree can be used to design an effective bridge.Inspired by nature, the authors have adopted the concept of how spiders use vibrations to monitor the state of the web and

Observations of aerosol chemical composition in Cabauw, the Netherlands, are presented for two intensive measurement periods in May 2008 and March 2009.Sub-micron aerosol chemical composition was measured by an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) and is compared to observations from aerosol size distribution measurements as well as composition
