These are the selected peer-reviwed papers from the 2011 International Conference on Mechatronics and Information Technology (ICMIT 2011), which was held on August 16-19th, 2011, in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, P.R. China. The primary aim of ICMIT 2011 was to share ideas and to discuss new techniques and applications in mechatronics and information technology in order to speed the development of advanced equipment manufacture, within the conference theme of “mechatronics and information technology for advanced equipment manufacture”. The topics covered by ICMIT 2011 included: Control Theory and Applications, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Actuators and Mechanisms, Communication and Network Systems, Smart Materials and Structures, Ubiquitous Applications, Welfare Engineering, Sensors and Signal/Image Processing, Biomedical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Robotics, Human Interfaces, Mechatronics and MEMS, Information Technology, Intelligent Control and Systems, Condition Monitoring/Fault Diagnosis, Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics and Power Electronics.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The primary aim of this volume was to gather together the current knowledge and expertise of scientists and engineers working, in both academia and industry, on damage assessment, structural health monitoring (SHM) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE).

Damage Assessment of Structures V

Edited by: J.M. Dulieu-Barton, M.J. Brennan, K.M. Holford and K. Worden

Online since: July 2003

Description: This volume presents the proceedings of the fifth in the celebrated series of biennial international conferences on the Damage Assessment of Structures (DAMAS 2003).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Studies of damage evolution, location and characterization are primordial aspects of the rapidly expanding field of SHM (structural health monitoring) and are major themes in this volume. In order to analyze efficiently the data-rich information provided by monitoring and by NDE (non-destructive evaluation) techniques, it is necessary to use advanced signal-processing procedures. Therefore, a significant fraction of the present book is dedicated to the optimization of signal processing and computation methods.
