Structural Health Monitoring 2007: Quantification, Validation, and Implementation

Abstract

Safety, performance and life cycle cost are the major concerns in the operation of structures that are in service, especially civil infrastructure and transportation. As demonstrated, structural health monitoring (SHM) provides a solution that addresses all these concerns. SHM technologies involve multi-disciplinary engineering and require in-depth developments from each engineering field as well as system-wide integration to optimize performance. Since the first the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM) in 1997, the progress in the development of SHM technologies has advanced significantly as can be seen from the proceedings of the biennial meetings. More than 1000 papers in topics ranging from sensor and actuator design, sensor network communication, diagnostics, signal processing, prognostics, to integrated design and system integration have been presented and discussed extensively. Numerous prototypes and field trials were demonstrated and presented successfully, especially in the meetings of 2003 and 2005.
