Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the interdisciplinaryengineering field devoted to the monitoring and assessment ofstructural health and integrity. SHM technology integratesnon-destructive evaluation techniques using remote sensing andsmart materials to create smart self-monitoring structurescharacterized by increased reliability and long life. Itsapplications are primarily systems with critical demands concerningperformance where classical onsite assessment is both difficult andexpensive.
Advanced Structural Damage Detection: From Theory toEngineering Applications is written by academic experts in thefield and provides students, engineers and other technicalspecialists with a comprehensive review of recent developments invarious monitoring techniques and their applications to SHM.Contributing to an area which is the subject of intensive researchand development, this book offers both theoretical principles andfeasibility studies for a number of SHM techniques.
Key features:
* Takes a multidisciplinary approach and provides a comprehensivereview of main SHM techniques
* Presents real case studies and practical application oftechniques for damage detection in different types ofstructures
* Presents a number of new/novel data processing algorithms
* Demonstrates real operating prototypes
Advanced Structural Damage Detection: From Theory toEngineering Applications is a comprehensive reference forresearchers and engineers and is a useful source of information forgraduate students in mechanical and civil engineering
