Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the science and application of embedded sensors to assess the health of a structure. The goal of SHM is to enable engineers to manage the operation of engineered structures throughout their lifecycle through the real-time diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of SHM systems.
SHM is part of the answer to the major environmental and economic challenges facing society to build a sustainable future by:
– Extending the life of critical structures and materials;
– Optimising the operational availability of structures;
– Reducing maintenance costs while improving safety.
To build our future and enlarge our community on SHM, a special attention will be given to offer young professionals an exciting opportunity to interact with experienced SHM experts and to bring their enthusiasm, freshness and in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies.
