International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring 2011; Stanford University, Palo Alto, California; 13-15 September 2011

该项目将支助在斯坦福大学举办一次为期三天的结构健康监测国际讲习班。 研讨会活动将把先进的传感技术与诊断、故障诊断和材料/结构损伤特性知识相结合，以评估在役结构的健康状况，从而防止结构灾难，最大限度地减少停机时间和维持性能，并降低维护成本。 研讨会将回顾这一领域的当前发展，确定关键和新出现的研究问题，并促进不同学科之间的交流和交叉，如传感器和传感器系统，网络，计算，数据挖掘，集成设计，诊断，生物力学，信号处理，多功能材料，以及民用基础设施，地面/空中/空间运输工具和海洋结构等应用。研讨会将包括来自行业，大学和政府的杰出人士的主题演讲，技术和海报展示，以及专家小组会议，以讨论行业和学术界的关键问题和关注点。讲习班将为研究人员、从业人员和学生之间交流科学信息提供一个多学科论坛。 一个特殊的教师学生小组讨论组织建立学生和世界各地的杰出研究人员/学者之间的直接接口。 研讨会将产生不同研究人员所作的技术报告的记录，并成立一个科学委员会，为政府机构和工业界制定指导方针和建议，以促进结构健康监测研究及其在建筑物和民用基础设施上的应用。

This project will support the organization of a three-day international workshop on structural health monitoring at Stanford University. The workshop activities will integrate advanced sensing technology with diagnostics, prognostics, and knowledge of material/structural damage characteristics to assess the health of structures in service to prevent structural catastrophes, minimize downtime and sustain performance, and reduce maintenance cost. The workshop will review the current developments in this area, identify key and emerging research issues, and promote exchanges and crossfertilization across different disciplines such as sensors and sensor systems, networking, computing, data mining, integrated design, diagnostics, prognostics, signal processing, multifunctional materials, and applications such as civil infrastructures, ground/air/space transportation vehicles, and marine structures. The workshop will consists of keynote lectures by distinguished individuals from industry, university, and government, technical and poster presentations, and meeting of expert panels to discuss key issues and concerns to the industry and academia. The workshop will provide a multi-disciplinary forum for exchange of scientific information between researchers, practitioners and students. A special faculty-student panel discussion is organized to establish a direct interface between students and distinguished researchers/academicians around the world. The workshop will produce proceedings of the technical presentations made by different researchers and form a scientific committee to develop guidelines and recommendations for government agencies and industry to promote structural health monitoring research and its application on buildings and civil infrastructure.
