2021/11/04 - 2023/06/30 Field experimental testing was performed on hangers of the 25 de Abril Bridge. The aim objective of this testing is to determine model identification for bridge hangers to be used in the ANSYS FE model to estimate expected fatigue life of hangers before replacement.

2022/09/05 - 2023/02/10 The main objective of the work is to identify experimentally natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratio of a transmission line. The work was divided into two main parts. First, evaluate modal identification without any damage on the cable and after that perform damage for a strand and reperform the experiment again. Secondly, estimate the fatigue life of the transmission line.
