London Digital Twin Research Centre

Newton Fund Institutional Links project “Digital Twin Models for Structural Health Monitoring”

On Wednesday 3rd March 2021, the project team will organise a workshop in Hanoi to continue the sharing of the outcomes to the relevant stakeholders and partners in the country.

Several talks and demonstrations on Cloud-based Digital Twin for bridges (both scaled down models in the lab and the actual bridges) will be presented during the event.

Time/date: 8am UK time and 3pm VN time, 3rd March 2021

Venue: Room 601, Building A1, University of Transport and Communications, Hanoi, Vietnam

On 21 January 2021, in a series of dissemination activities of the Newton Fund International Links project ‘Digital Twin for Structural Health Monitoring,’ the Vietnamese partner, University of Transport and Communication (UTC), organised a workshop to present the project outcomes to the local and national science/industrial communities in civil engineering, computer science, geology, and mechanics.

At London Digital Twin Research Centre, we have engineered a Digital Twin (DT) model for Structural Health Monitoring, which is able to collect, analyse, and visualise data in a near real-time fashion. The cloud-based DT was trialed at this initial stage on Amazon Cloud services (AWS) (continuously deployed at the following IP address: http://3.140.199.12) and currently being developed over the Siemens’ Mindsphere platform. For more detail of work flow and main components, read on.

Since its launch in February 2019, the Newton-funded project “Digital twin model for structural health monitoring (SHM) of lifeline infrastructures in Vietnam” has achieved major milestones, including the data collection and vibration measurement of structures. In the last few months, the Vietnamese partner has conducted vibration measurement of two of the most heavily used bridges in Vietnam- Chuong Duong bridge in the Northern capital Hanoi and Can Tho bridge in the Southern Mekong Delta region. Let us look back at how it was done.

Our Newton Fund project “Digital twin model for structural health monitoring of lifeline infrastructures in Vietnam” has now advanced into the development stage. The prototype concept of the Digital Twin has been trialled in the lab with a basic bridge model.

The partner in Vietnam, University of Transport and Communications, has organised the Third International Conference on Sustainability in Civil Engineering (ICSCE 2020) in Hanoi on 26th/27th November as one of the planned dissemination events. The Conference Chair, Dr Thanh T. Bui (the project’s PI in Vietnam) has led the committee team and dedicated one session for project topic of “Digital Twin for Structural Health Monitoring,” contributing to the general conference theme “Building a Green Infrastructure for Living.” Continue reading “ICSCE 2020: Digital Twin for Infrastructures in Vietnam”
