Structural Health Monitoring: A Summary Report on the First Stanford Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring, September 18-20, 1997

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of the panel discussions and presentations from the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring held at Stanford University, Sept. 18-20, 1997. Structural health monitoring is an emerging technology which combines advanced sensing technology with a knowledge of material/structural damage characteristics to monitor the condition of structures in real time while in service. Technical presentations made by researchers and experts from industry, academe, and government were divided into several categories: sensing technology development, modeling and diagnostic methods, system integration and applications. Three panel sessions were held separately devoted to discussions of civil infrastructure and aerospace/general applications, current status assessment, technical barriers and research issues, and general concerns. This report provides a status report on the technology and research.
