Workshop on Cooperative US-Europe Research in Sensors and Smart Structures Technology

摘要0203143(B.F.斯宾塞大学巴黎圣母院)该项目为2002年4月在意大利索马隆巴多举行的美欧传感器和智能结构技术联合研讨会/研讨会提供支持。该项目的目标是通过在美国和欧洲新兴学科领域的相互学习，为未来扩大联合研究建立一个共同的框架。在过去的几年里，美国和欧洲在传感技术和结构健康监测/状况评估领域取得了重大进展。提出了涉及新硬件、算法和软件的创新概念，以及振动控制。在欧洲和美国的桥梁上，也有几个密集的传感器仪器基础设施和健康监测系统的全面试验实施，以及案例研究。可以从欧洲专家那里学到很多东西，反之亦然，特别是在对小型、中型、大型和全规模项目进行实验核查方面。该计划将包括四个主题的研讨会，主题为(1)创新的传感硬件，(2)无线技术的进步，(3)损害检测/表征和状况评估方法，以及(4)案例研究和国际试验台上的实验验证。然后将举行四次工作坊会议，总结传感器和智能结构技术在这些主题中的现状，确定悬而未决的研究问题，并制定一项行动计划，通过可能的合作研究项目和科学数据共享，为开发和实施提出建议。将编写讲习班的最后报告，并通过正常分发方式和因特网向研究和实践界提供，以便更广泛地传播信息。

Abstract0203143(B.F. Spencer, Univ. Notre Dame)This project provides support for a joint US-Europe Seminar/Workshop in Sensors and Smart Structures Technology in April 2002 in Somma Lombardo, Italy.. The objective of this project is to establish a common framework for expanded future joint research through mutual learning in the emerging subject areas between US and Europe.In the last few years, significant progress has been made in the area of sensingtechnology and structural health monitoring/condition assessment in the US and Europe.Innovative concepts involving new hardware, algorithms, and software, as well asvibration control have been proposed. There have also been several full scale trialimplementations of densely sensor instrumented infrastructures and health monitoringsystems, as well as case studies on bridges in Europe and the US. There is much can be learned from the European experts and vice versa, especially in the area ofexperimental verification on small, medium, large and full scale projects. The program will consist of four seminar sessions on the theme topics of (1) innovative sensing hardware, (2) advances in wireless technology, (3) damage detection/characterization and condition assessment methodology, and (4) case studies and experimental verification on international testbeds. Then four workshopsessions will follow to summarize the status of the sensors and smart structures technology in these topics, to identify the outstanding research issues, and to formulate an action plan with recommendations for development and implementation through possible collaborative research projects and sharing of scientific data. A final report of the workshop will be prepared and made available to the research and practitioner community through normal distribution means and also through Internet for wider information dissemination.
