From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jasna Bogunović Jakobsen is a Norwegian wind engineer who studies the structural loads and aeroelastic flutter caused by wind on bridges and bridge cables.[1] She is a professor in the Department of Machinery, Building and Materials Technology at the University of Stavanger.[2]
Jakobsen earned a PhD at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1994, and joined the University of Stavanger faculty as an associate professor of civil engineering in 1995. She became a full professor in 2003.[2]
Contributions
Jakobsen has used a combination of anemometers and accelerometers to study the effects of wind on the Lysefjord Bridge in Norway.[1] Her research on using lidar to measure wind speeds has been used to ensure the safety of a bridge across the Bjørnafjorden, designed to be the world's longest floating bridge.[3][4]
