Abstract: | The concept of health monitoring is a key aspect of the field of medicine that has been practiced for a long time. A commonly
used diagnostic and health monitoring practice is pulse diagnosis, which can be traced back approximately five thousand years
in the recorded history of China. With advances in the development of modern technology, the concept of health monitoring
of a variety of engineering structures in several applications has begun to attract widespread attention. Of particular interest
in this study is the health monitoring of civil structures. It seem natural, and even beneficial, that these two health-monitoring
methods, one as applies to the human body and the other to civil structures, should be analyzed and compared. In this paper,
the basic concepts and theories of the two monitoring methods are first discussed. Similarities are then summarized and commented
upon. It is hoped that this correlation analysis may help provide structural engineers with some insights into the intrinsic
concept of using pulse diagnosis in human health monitoring, which may of be some benefit in the development of modern structural
health monitoring methods. |
