First test Study: Wireless sensors limit earthquake damage April 16, 2007 -- Shirley Dyke (left) and Pengcheng Wang adjust wireless sensors onto a model laboratory building in Dyke's laboratory. Download An earthquake engineer at Washington University in St. Louis has successfully performed the first test of wireless sensors in the simulated structural control of a model laboratory building. Shirley J. Dyke, Ph.D., the Edward C. Dicke Professor of Civil Engineering and director of the Washington University Structural Control and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory, combined the wireless sensors with special controls called magnetorheological dampers to limit damage from a simulated earthquake load.

Dyke, professor of civil engineering, has made major contributions to obtain a better understanding of structural dynamics, structural control, vibration and earthquake engineering. Dyke is the director of the Structural Control and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory, where researchers seek ways to reduce losses and property damages from earthquakes. In order to encourage more formal training in structural dynamics and earthquake hazard migration at the undergraduate level, Dyke formed and is currently the director of the University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables (UCIST). Dyke is also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and is an Associate Editor of ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics.
