International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring 2009: Transformational Change on Health Management and Materials/Structures Design

结构健康监测是一种依赖传感器的新兴技术，它将先进的传感器和传感系统与材料/结构损伤特征的诊断、预测和知识相结合，以评估结构的健康状况。可以在结构处于服务状态时进行健康监测，以防止人为或自然灾害，最大限度地减少停机时间，保持性能，并降低维护成本。结构健康监测（SHM）国际研讨会将于2009年9月9-11日在斯坦福大学举行。讲习班旨在审查结构健康监测方面的最新技术和未来研究方案的发展。将邀请该领域的杰出人士参加，并展出产品和演示。智力价值：促进SHM技术发展的智力交流，建立全面的传感器技术研究社区。更广泛的影响：预期的结果包括技术介绍的程序，组成由政府、工业界和学术界专家组成的技术委员会，制定促进SHM技术的指导方针和建议。

Structural health monitoring is a sensor dependent emerging technology, which integrated advanced sensors and sensing systems with diagnostics, prognostics and knowledge of material/structural damage characteristics to assess the health condition of the structures. The health monitoring can be made while the structure is in service, for prevention of man-made or natural catastrophes, to minimize down time, and sustain performance, and to reduce maintenance costs. An international workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) will be held at Stanford University Sept 9-11, 2009. The workshop aimed at examination of the state-of-the-art technology in structural health monitoring and at future research program development. Distinguished individuals in the field will be invited to attend and products and demonstrations will be exhibited.Intellectual Merit: Promotion of intellectual exchange in SHM technology development and building up the sensors technology research community across the board.Broader Impacts: Expected outcomes include proceedings of technical presentations, formation of technical committee consisting of government, industry and academic specialists, development of guidelines and recommendations for promotion of SHM technologies.
