Damage Assessment of Structures VI

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The study of damage evolution, location and characterisation is an important aspect of the growing area of SHM and is a major theme of the conference. The link between SHM and machine condition-monitoring is emphasised by the substantial contribution, to the proceedings, which concerns the application of damage assessment techniques to rotating machines. In order to analyse efficiently the data-rich information, provided by monitoring and NDE techniques, it is necessary to use advanced signal processing procedures. A significant proportion of the conference is therefore dedicated to signal processing and computational methods.The book covers all activities which are relevant to the damage assessment of engineering structures and systems: including signal processing of sensor measurements and analytical techniques, as well as experimental case studies. Among the topics covered are: Damage assessment; Advanced methods of NDT; Recent advances in signal processing and algorithms; Structural integrity; Damage mechanisms; Fatigue damage; Damage location and quantification; Sensors and measurement strategies; Intelligent materials; Knowledge-based systems; Condition monitoring; Biomedical damage detection and analysis; Case studies.
