Books by Keyword: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

Description: This collection of 37 papers describes materials for protecting civilians and soldiers against vehicle collision, blast-damage, fragmentation and unconventional attack. They also treat multi-functional materials for enhancing civilian and soldier performance under extreme conditions. The detailed topics include the atomic-layer deposition of thin inorganic coatings into renewable packaging materials, the development of woven enhanced silk fabric for ballistic protection, novel piezo-electric tactile sensor materials having improved properties, enhancement of the char resistance of expandable graphite-based intrumescent fire-retardant coatings by using multi-wall carbon nano tubes for structural steel, the development of new sol-gel surface-treatment formulations for the bonded repair of aircraft and the laminated microstructure and toughening mechanism of abalone shell.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume covers all aspects of vibration, structural engineering and measurement: in particular, vibration engineering, structural engineering, building materials and measurement. All of the papers were reviewed by several expert referees, and the book thus provides the reader with a broad and reliable overview of the latest advances in these fields.

The objective of this special collection was to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers and government officials, involved in the general areas of soft magnetic materials, soft ferrites, powder cores, composite materials, thin films, metamaterials, magnetic measurements and instrumentation, to disseminate their latest research results and to exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.

Description: The 2010 Annual British Society for Strain Measurement Conference is the seventh in the series on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, and the fifth time that the papers have been presented as a volume in the Applied Mechanics and Materials series.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The 61 papers making up this volume reflect strikingly the diverse nature of experimental mechanics. The fourteen sessions address various disciplines: e.g. aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering and state-of-the-art technologies such as biomechanics, novel sensors, and composite and cellular materials. The papers were contributed by workers in both academia and industry; with half of the contributions coming from outside of the UK: thus reflecting the international flavour of this event. This volume will be essential reading for all of those interested in the subject.

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).

Description: A collection of 86 peer-reviewed papers offering an up-to-date overview of the topic of, “Embodying Intelligence in Structures and Integrated Systems”. The papers are grouped into chapters on: 1: Smart materials, sensors/actuators and microsystems; 2: Integration technologies; 3: Smart structures and integrated systems; 4: Structural monitoring; 5: Ongoing and perspective applications. This special volume has also been published online in the series, “Advances in Science and Technology” Vol. 56.

Nowadays, one of the most rapidly growing sectors of industry is that of the infrastructure and vehicles of transportation systems. This discipline needs new, innovative and economically proven initiatives.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection covers the many activities, relevant to the damage assessment of engineering structures and systems, including the signal processing of sensor measurements and analytical techniques, as well as experimental case studies.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The papers which make up this volume reflect the very diverse nature of nondestructive evaluation; covering as they do topics ranging from traditional NDE to newly developing NDE methods such as structural health monitoring; where nondestructive technologies are rapidly progressing by integrating emerging technologies from various fields.
