Informationen zum Autor Huston! D. Klappentext This book reviews various types of sensors currently used in structural health monitoring (SHM). It begins by discussing point sensors! such as traditional strain gauges and recently developed optical fiber sensors! and non-contact systems! such as visual/photographic inspection! remote sensing! and NDE techniques. The author then examines the processing and interpretation of data from a number of sensors working in parallel! as well as issues related to the structures themselves. In the last two chapters! the book surveys the design of a "tailor-made" SHM system and explores some specific case studies. Zusammenfassung Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses one or more in situ sensing systems placed in or around a structure, providing real-time evaluation of its performance and ultimately preventing structural failure. This text begins with a review of the various types of sensors used in SHM, including point sensors and noncontact systems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Point Sensors.
