The primary aim of the conference is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers in academia and industry in the field of damage assessment, structural health monitoring (SHM) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and to exchange information with a particular emphasis on scientific and technical development.
The DAMAS series of conferences is now established as a major forum for discussion and dissemination of recent advances in damage detection, assessment and quantification, following the six previous conferences in Pescara (1995), Sheffield (1997), Dublin (1999), Cardiff (2001), Southampton (2003) and Gdansk (2005).
The proceedings covers activities relevant to damage assessment of engineering structures and systems including signal processing of sensor measurements and analytical techniques as well as experimental case studies.
The conference themes are as follows: - • Structural integrity and damage assessment • Advanced methods of NDT • Developments in signal processing and algorithms • System diagnosis and prognosis • Damage mechanisms • Fatigue damage • Damage location and quantification • Sensors and measurement procedures • Condition monitoring • Real-time process monitoring • Practical applications and case studies The conference organising committee is very grateful to the authors and Keynote Speakers for their careful efforts in producing the papers and to the Scientific Committee for taking the time to review the papers to journal standards.

The optimization model advanced here can be used to optimize the grinding wheel topography for different grinding processes with the minimum specific grinding energy.
Since expect for the speed, such factors as the structure of the wheel (slotted or Advances in Materials Manufacturing Science and Technology 406 not), the grinding wheel topography and machining parameters combination may have remarkable influence to the specific grinding energy.
Therefore a new idea of optimization designing the wheel topography in accordance with machining demands and machining parameters is advanced in this paper.

  PREFACE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference is an annual conference held since 2007.
This year, 2015 9th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO2015) is held from 18 to 19 March 2015 at Hotel Equatorial, Melaka, Malaysia.
PEOCO2015 is jointly organized by the Computational Intelligence Resources (CIRes); Power System Operation Computational Intelligence Research Group (POSC), Community of Research (CoRe)-Advanced Computing and Communication (ACC), Universiti Teknologi Mara, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
The occasion creates a forum for scientists, engineers, researchers and practitioners on the varied spectrum in power systems, power quality, electrical machines and drives, power electronics, power sources and storage, renewable energy, energy efficiency.

The aim of the conference is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers in academia and industry in the field of damage assessment, structural health monitoring (SHM) and non-destructive evaluation (NOE).
To efficiently analyse the data rich information provided by monitoring and NOE techniques it is necessary to use advanced signal processing procedures.
The DAMAS series of conferences is now established as a major forum for discussion and dissemination of recent advances in damage detection, assessment and quantification, following the four previous conferences in Pescara ( 1995), Sheffield (1997), Dublin (1999) and Cardiff(2001).
The proceedings covers activities relevant to damage assessment of engineering structures and systems including signal processing of sensor measurements and analytical techniques as well as experimental case studies.
The conference themes are as follows: • Damage assessment • Advanced methods ofNDT • Recent advances in signal processing and algorithms • Structural integrity • Damage mechanisms • Fatigue damage • Damage location and quantification • Sensors and measurement strategies • Intelligent materials • Knowledge-based systems • Condition monitoring • Biomedical damage detection and analysis • Case studies The conference organising committee is very grateful to the authors for their careful efforts in producing the papers and to the Scientific Committee and the Keynote Speakers for taking the time to reviewing the papers to journal standards.
