International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring
Abstract
This proposal is for requesting funding from Office of Naval Research to sponsor the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM) event to be held at Stanford University, Sept. 10-12, 2019. Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an emerging technology, which integrates advanced sensing technology with diagnostics, prognostics, and knowledge of material/structural damage characteristics to estimate the structure~s in-service health status to prevent structural catastrophes, minimize downtime and sustain performance, and reduce maintenance cost. The concept of autonomous and/or intelligent systems and the Industry Internet of Things (IIOT) will be of particular interest. It is particularly important and attractive for sustaining combat readiness and performance of the Navy for both existing and new aircraft, rotorcraft, ships, and underwater-vehicles.Owing to significant technology progress in recent years, the 2019 IWSHM is themed as ~Enabling Intelligent Life-cycle Health Management for Industry Internet of Things~. The objectives of the Workshop are to assess the current state-of-the-art technologies and to identify key breakthroughs and emerging R&D challenges critical to SHM. The workshop is also intended to promote communication and cross-fertilization between multiple platforms, such as sensors, remote sensing, system networks and integration, multifunctional materials, state awareness, safety assurance, cyber-physical systems for SHM, and IIOT, and applications such as civil infrastructures, ground/air/space vehicles, and marine structures.Distinguished individuals from industry, academe, and government will be invited to deliver keynote lectures and presentations. Product and technology demonstrations will also be held. The workshop will conclude with panel discussions on key issues and concerns identified and result in proceedings of the technical presentations as well as in the formation of a technical committee consisting of key personnel. The committee will follow up on the conclusions of the workshop and to develop guidelines and recommendations for further development in SHM for government agencies and related industries.
