Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The biennial conference draws scientists and engineers in academia and industry to share views and recent scientific and technical findings on damage assessment, structural health monitoring, and non-destructive evaluation. Over 100 papers from this incarnation cover damage location and quantification, developments in signal processing and algorithms, damage assessment, condition monitoring, system diagnostics and prognosis, damage mechanisms, fatigue damage, structural integrity, and advanced methods of non-destructive testing. The keynote papers discuss fault damage power and a self-recovery system of machinery, and acoustic emission in structural health monitoring. Other topics include transmission and reflection coefficients for identifying damage in one-dimensional elements, the response characteristics of various impact patterns on the smart bumper of automotives, and applying cyclic correlation analysis to gear damage detection.
