Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
is the interdisciplinary engineering field devoted to the monitoring
and assessment of structural health and integrity. SHM technology
integrates non-destructive evaluation techniques using remote sensing
and smart materials to create smart self-monitoring structures
characterized by increased reliability and long life. Its applications
are primarily systems with critical demands concerning performance where
classical onsite assessment is both difficult and expensive.
Advanced Structural Damage Detection: From Theory to Engineering Applications
is written by academic experts in the field and provides students,
engineers and other technical specialists with a comprehensive review of
recent developments in various monitoring techniques and their
applications to SHM. Contributing to an area which is the subject of
intensive research and development, this book offers both theoretical
principles and feasibility studies for a number of SHM techniques.
Key features:
- Takes a multidisciplinary approach and provides a comprehensive review of main SHM techniques
- Presents real case studies and practical application of techniques for damage detection in different types of structures
- Presents a number of new/novel data processing algorithms
- Demonstrates real operating prototypes
Advanced Structural Damage Detection: From Theory to Engineering Applications
is a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers and is a
useful source of information for graduate students in mechanical and
civil engineering
