How Statistics is transforming engineering practice. Title: Sensing a 3D Printed Steel Bridge Speaker: Gijs van der Velden (MX3D, Amsterdam) Date: 8 May 2017 Time: 13:00 – 13:30 To register your interest, email Turing Events. https://www.turing.ac.uk/events/sensing-3d-printed-steel-bridge/ Sensing a 3D Printed Steel Bridge: A story on how sensor data will help us to build, maintain and improve 3D printed infrastructural projects. MX3D is 3D printing a steel bridge for the city centre of Amsterdam. After passing a rigorous testing cycle the bridge will be approved for use. But how will it behave in its actual environment, during normal use? Can we monitor its critical health indicators? By rigging the Bridge with a sensor network, MX3D will also test assumptions on the behaviour of structures designed by using optimisation techniques. Therefore, information will be gathered that allows to make a smarter design time by time. The collaboration with some key experts in the field has been crucial in developing this project. Join the Data-Centric Engineering team to hear MX3D CEO Gijs van der Velden’s brief talk in the Ada Lovelace suite at the Turing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Professor Mark Girolami FRSE FIET Chair of Statistics EPSRC Established Career Research Fellow Department of Mathematics | Huxley Building, Room 539 | Imperial College London | SW7 2AZ ( +44 (0)20 7589 5111 |* [log in to unmask] Director Lloyds Register Foundation-Turing Programme on Data Centric Engineering The Alan Turing Institute | The British Library | 96 Euston Road | London, NW1 2DB ( +44 (0)300 770 1912 |* [log in to unmask] | www.turing.ac.uk/data-centric-engineering ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
