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

结构健康监测是一项基于传感器的新兴技术，它将先进的传感器和传感系统与诊断、诊断和结构损伤特性知识相结合，对结构的健康状况进行评估。健康监测可以在结构处于服务中时进行，用于防止人为或自然灾害，以最小化停机时间，并维持性能，以及降低维护成本。2009年9月9日至11日，在斯坦福大学将举行一次关于结构健康监测（SHM）的国际研讨会。该研讨会旨在检查结构健康监测的最新技术和未来的研究计划发展。届时，将邀请业界知名人士出席，并展出产品及示范。学术贡献：促进SHM技术发展的学术交流，建立传感器技术研究界。预期成果包括：技术专题介绍的程序，成立由政府、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.
