.... It is concluded that the technique can be applied to the monitoring of structures with displacements of much smaller amplitude than those of a suspension bridge, and hence that the on-line monitoring of major structures might be readily achieved using GPS-based techniques.

.... Theproposed approach employs an Eulerian (convected) system forthe definition of local element freedoms, and is capable of representing the effects of large displacements,finite rotations and cross-sectionawl arping. The use of the Eulerian system hasbeen shown to be advantageous in the context T 6 d i1...
