This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $631,070 to Georgia TECH Research Corporation to conduct research on modeling the long-term dynamics of structural assemblies with loosening bolted joints. The goal is to develop predictive modeling approaches that capture the coupling between structural dynamics and the integrity of bolted joints over a structure's service life. This research aims to improve health monitoring of aging infrastructure, enable tougher designs against extreme weather, and enhance the reliability of energy generation from renewable sources. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to October 31, 2028.
