International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring

Abstract

2021 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORINGSUMMARYThis 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, December7-9, 2021. 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 structures in-service health status to prevent structural catastrophes, minimize downtime and sustain performance, and reduce maintenance cost. The theme of 2021 International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM) is Enabling Next-Generation SHM for Cyber Physical Systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate computing devices, actuation and control, networking infrastructure, and sensing of the physical world. The significant role of sensors, measurement science, and smart evaluation has been acknowledged and has already led to the statement Industry 4.0 is not achievable without health monitoring systems. Smart CPS drive innovation and competition in a range of application domains, including aeronautics, civil infrastructure, energy, environmental quality, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) allows CPS components to communicate with other devices through cloud-based infrastructure and potentially interact with safety-critical systems. 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 civilinfrastructures, ground/air/space vehicles, and marine structures. Distinguished individuals from industry, academe, and governmentwill 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.
