Wood is one of the most intriguing structural materials and the only one that is truly renewable. Along with stone, wood is the oldest structural material on the planet and has been extensively used throughout human history. Due to its aesthetical value and positive environmental impact, wood has experienced a renaissance in construction. As a biodegradable, hygroscopic, non-isotropic material, wood presents special challenges for a professional and requires through knowledge ranging from biology to continuum mechanics. This state-of-the-art report reflects the current knowledge in the area of in situ assessment of the physical and mechanical properties of wood structures. Nondestructive, semi-destructive and destructive methods are described in a systematic manner where technology, equipment and limitations are discussed. Some of the discussed methods are used in other materials such as masonry and concrete. Most of the methods, however, are specific to wood and special qualifications are required to understand and apply these methods effectively. Existing methods are constantly improved and new methods are being developed. This report includes methods that are used in practice or have shown significant promise and have a body of knowledge that supports statements made in this report. This is a useable tool for professionals, researchers, educators and students
This book covers some of the most recent developments and application potentials in structural health assessment for non-experts in the subject. Among topics addressed are sensor types, platforms and data conditioning for practical applications, wireless collection of sensor data, sensor power needs and on-site energy harvesting, long-term monitoring of structures, uncertainty in collected data, and future directions in structural health assessment.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The aim of this special collection is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers from universities and industry who work in the fields of Structural Health Monitoring, Non-Destructive Evaluation and Condition Monitoring. Networking between diagnostic systems designers and system users is crucial to the successful operation of many SHM systems. The study of damage detection, localization and assessment are important to the rapidly growing area of SHM.
Structural Health Monitoring & Damage Detection, Volume 7: Proceedings of the 33rd IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2015, the seventh volume of ten from the Conference brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on: Structural Health Monitoring Damage Detection Energy Harvesting
The concepts presented in this book are some of the new advancements in the design of structural health monitoring systems. It is envisaged that such advancements will lead to smart structural health monitoring that will result in sustainable engineering systems. Sustainability is considered an important objective in today's engineering design due to the current state of climate change and global warming, both of which are hugely aggravated by industrial and construction activities. This book presents demonstrations of and applications for new advancements such as infrared thermography, ultrasonic guided waves, and strain sensors, among others. The information presented will encourage further research and implementation of these advanced techniques and technologies in structural health monitoring.
