We are a team from IIT Kharagpur, India working in a SHM project with Indian Railways, RDSO India. We are looking forward to visiting a SHM research laboratory as knowledge exchange tour.
So if anyone has Idea of a good research lab that works on structural health monitoring of railway bridges using accelerometer, strain gauges etc. , then please let us know.
Thanking You in advance.
In Europe, I can suggest you 3 laboratories:
1.- KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm (Sweden). Prof. Raid Karoumi is the contact person.
2.- Railway laboratory of the University of Porto (Portugal). Prof. Rui Calçada is the contact person.
3.- Railway department of Lulea University (Sweden). The contact person is Prof. Lennart Elfgren
FEUP has a good team and they had some bridges instrumented for dynamic analysis. I suggest you contact Prof. Alvaro Cunha at FEUP - University of Porto, Portugal
I can suggest to contact Prof. Michael Link from Univ. Kassel, Germany, or Prof. Carlos Ventura from Univ. British Columbia - Vancouver, Canada. They are both on RG.
Have a nice day,
Alessandro
