Development of an Experimental Approach to the Health Monitoring of Structural Systems

这项计划拨款是与国家科学基金会的少数民族研究启动计划一起提交的，目的是制定一项战略，以形成结构健康监测问题的试验性方法。这种方法将起源于控制系统实现理论。应开发一种分析，使现场工程师能够将老化或可能损坏的复杂结构的当前实现情况与系统“新”且假定健康时的结构实现情况进行比较。

This planning grant, submitted in conjunction with the Minority Research Initiation program of the NSF, is to develop a strategy to form an experimental approach to the health monitoring issue of structures. This approach will have its origins in control system realization theory. An analysis is to be developed that would allow the field engineer to compare current realizations of an aging, or possibly damaged complex structure, to realizations of the structure when the system was "new" and assumed healthy.
