Un gemelo digital es una representación virtual continuamente sincronizada de un activo físico, proceso o sistema, mantenida mediante flujos de datos bidireccionales entre sensores del mundo real y un modelo computacional cuya fidelidad abarca desde simples paneles de telemetría hasta simulaciones completas basadas en la física que resuelven la dinámica de fluidos, la mecánica estructural o el comportamiento electroquímico en escalas de tiempo operativas.
The construct originated in aerospace and manufacturing — NASA’s vehicle mirroring practice and Siemens’ product lifecycle management infrastructure are canonical early instances — before propagating into energy grid management, urban planning, healthcare facility operations, and supply chain orchestration, each domain imposing distinct requirements on ontological representation, update latency, and model granularity.

integrating MT-InSAR with physics-based and data-driven models for scalable structural health monitoring
Published on 2026-09-02 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractMulti-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) has matured into a credible, non-contact technique for monitoring bridge deformation from individual structures to regional portfolios. The main challenge for routine engineering use is no longer measuring millimetre-scale line-of-sight (LOS) displacement, but interpreting those measurements into defensible statements about structural condition. This review addresses that interpretation problem by synthesising the physica[...]
Our summary: This review synthesizes the fundamentals of MT-InSAR for bridge deformation monitoring and addresses the interpretation of measurements for structural condition assessment. It proposes a hybrid framework combining physics-based and data-driven methods to enhance the scalability and interpretability of monitoring efforts.
