International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring; Stanford, California; September 1-3, 2015

结构健康监测是一项可以随时随地提供结构健康状态的实时信息，以便在运营过程中最大限度地发挥其性能和延长其使用寿命的新兴技术。这项技术大大提高了操作员对实际运行条件下可能遇到各种恶劣环境的结构的完整性的实时“意识”，从而可能导致开发先进的缓解技术，以避免结构灾难。国家意识是国家航天、民用、机械和电力基础设施平台安全、可靠和保障的关键要素。结构健康监测不仅允许用户远程和即时地访问其资产的状况，特别是在地震等意外事件之后，而且还使用户能够更高效、更经济地维护其资产。发展卫生和环境管理能力的基本要素是数据收集和解释。结构健康监测技术使用内置传感器来收集数据，并创建诊断方法来解释数据与结构变化之间的关系。网络传感器技术和“大数据”科学的最新进展为进一步推进结构健康检测和监测的诊断和预测方面的科学和技术提供了重要机会。第十届结构健康监测国际研讨会2015将确定研究需求，并寻求工业界、政府和学术界专家的共识，以制定跨越各种行业平台的结构健康监测路线图。SHM技术的总体影响对于维持卫生功能和维持国家交通系统、国防、民用基础设施和其他工业部门的结构完整性至关重要。研讨会将评估卫生管理领域的最新水平；确定和讨论关键和新出现的关键问题；促进多个学科的研究人员、学生、工程师和从业人员的交流和交叉融合；并建立一个由来自政府、学术界和行业的思想领袖组成的小组，以制定一份文件，指导卫生管理的近期和长期研发方向。

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an emerging technology that may provide real-time information about the "health" state of the structures anywhere and anytime in order to maximize their performance and prolong the lifespan during the operation. This technology increases significantly the "awareness" of the operators in real time on the integrity of the structures that may encounter various harsh environments in actual operation conditions, and hence, could lead to the development of advanced mitigation techniques to avoid structural catastrophes. The state awareness is the key element for safety, reliability and security of national aerospace, civil, mechanical and power infrastructure platforms. Structural health monitoring would not only allow users to access the condition of their assets remotely and instantly, particularly after unexpected events such as earthquakes, but also make the users to maintain their assets more efficiently and economically. The fundamental building blocks in the development of SHM capability are data collection and interpretation. Structural health monitoring techniques use built-in sensors to collect data and create diagnostic methods to interpret the relationship between the data and the change in the structure. Recent advances in networked sensor technology and "big data" science provides significant opportunities to further advance the science and technology in diagnostics and prognostics for detection and monitoring of the health of structures. The 10th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring 2015 will identify research needs and seek a consensus among experts from industry, government, and academia to develop an SHM roadmap spanning across various industry platforms. The general impact of SHM technologies is essential in sustaining the health functions and in maintaining the structural integrity of national transportation systems, defense, civil infrastructures, and other industrial sectors. The workshop will assess the state-of-the-art in the field of SHM; identify and discuss key and emerging issues that are critical; promote exchanges and cross-fertilization from researchers, students, engineers and practitioners among many disciplines; and establish a panel consisting of thought leaders from government, academe, and industry to develop a document for guiding the directions of R&D in SHM for both the near and long term.
