Effects of Strongbacks and Strappings on Vibrations of Timber Truss Joist Floors
Shock and Vibration, 2021 It is well known that the vertical vibrations of lightweight timber floors would cause discomfort to the occupants. As a new kind of flooring system, the metal-plate-connected timber truss joist floors were developed due to their larger spans and easier ...

Carrier-to-Noise-Threshold Filtering on Off-Shore Wind Lidar Measurements
Sensors, 2019 Wind lidar observations are characterized by a Carrier-to-Noise-Ratio that is often used to filter the observations. The choice of the Carrier-to-Noise-Ratio threshold value for the wind lidar observations is found to have an effect on the climatological
