For release in the Advances in Civil and Industrial Engineering (ACIE) Book Series.
The Advances in Civil and Industrial Engineering (ACIE) Book Series aims to present research and methodology that will provide solutions and discussions to meet such needs. The latest methodologies, applications, tools, and analysis will be published through the books included in ACIE in order to keep the available research in civil and industrial engineering as current and timely as possible.
Introduction
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) consists in the acquisition and the analysis of data from a set of permanently installed sensors to determine the health of a structure in a non-destructive way. Since it is possible to assess the structure on demand or continuously, it is possible to verify the integrity of the structure and determine whether a structure can work properly or whether it needs to be repaired or replaced, with the subsequent maintenance cost saving. In general, SHM includes different levels such as damage detection, damage localization, damage classification and prognosis of remaining lifetime.
Objective of the Book
This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest research and developments findings in the SHM. In addition, the book will provide examples of applications and results using data-driven approaches in different areas such as civil, aerospace, mechanical engineering, among others. Book chapters will be written by researchers with strong background in different topics within SHM area.
Target Audience
The book will be addressed to a broad community of professionals and researchers working in the field of Structural Health Monitoring. Moreover, the book will be a valuable tool for those interested in development and application of strategies based on data-driven approaches. In the same manner, it is expected that the book will be a useful tool in courses including topics in Structural Health Monitoring.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Chapters are sought in the different areas related to Structural Health Monitoring and primarily focused on data-driven approaches:
· Sensors and actuators
· Statistical tools for damage identification
· Bio-inspided algorithms
· Damage detection
· Damage classification
· Damage localization
· Damage prognosis
· Smart Materials
· Advanced Signal processing
· Data Minning
· Data Management
· Vibration and wave propagation
Submission Procedure
Researchers and professionals are invited to submit on or before February 15, 2014, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the objectives and contents of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 15, 2014 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by June 15, 2014. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
