Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is related to a novel method and technology to aid structural health monitoring (SHM) experts and civil structure inspectors. The method uses the analyzed structure incorporated with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) platforms to minimize or eliminate the need for site visits. The invention can enable a more efficient decision-making process with damage detection and load carrying information.
Partnering Opportunity
The research team is seeking partners for licensing and/or research collaboration.
