Synopsis

This book is organized around the various sensing techniques used to achieve structural health monitoring. Its main focus is on sensors, signal and data reduction methods and inverse techniques, which enable the identification of the physical parameters, affected by the presence of the damage, on which a diagnostic is established."Structural Health Monitoring" is not oriented by the type of applications or linked to special classes of problems, but rather presents broader families of techniques: vibration and modal analysis; optical fibre sensing; acousto-ultrasonics, using piezoelectric transducers; and, electric and electromagnetic techniques. Each chapter has been written by specialists in the subject area who possess a broad range of practical experience. The book will be accessible to students and those new to the field, but the exhaustive overview of present research and development, as well as the numerous references provided, also make it required reading for experienced researchers and engineers.

He is the author of more than eighty publications/papers in NDE and thirty in the SHM field. He launched the European Workshop on SHM in 2002. Claus-Peter Fritzen, Professor of Mechanics within the Institute of Mechanics and Control-Mechatronics at the University of Siegen (Germany), is a researcher in the fields of vibrations, structural identification, smart structures and SHM. He has published more than one hundred journal and conference papers, fifty of them related to damage identification and SHM. Alfredo Guemes, is Professor of Material Science, Director of the Aerospace Materials & Processes Department at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and Co-Chairman of the Stanford International Workshops on SHM since 1997. He has led three research projects on Fibre Optic Sensors, sponsored by the EC and ESA and authored more than fifty papers.

Synopsis

"Structural Health Monitoring" is organized around the various sensing techniques used to achieve structural health monitoring. The main emphasis is on sensors, signal and data reduction methods and inverse techniques allowing the identification of the physical parameters affected by the presence of the damage on which diagnostic is established. "Structural Health Monitoring" is not oriented by the type of applications or linked to special classes of problems, but presents the broader families of techniques: vibration and modal analysis; optical fibre sensing; acousto-ultrasonics using piezoelectric transducers; and electric and electromagnetic techniques. Each chapter has been written by experienced specialists in the topic, who have a broad practical experience. The book is suitable for beginners in the field and students, but the exhaustive overview of present research and development, and numerous references also make it ideal for experienced researchers and engineers.
