ABSTRACT
The objective of the ESF Eurocores S3T project “Smart Sensing for Structural Health Monitoring” (S3HM) is to combine the most recent developments in sensor and actuator technology, networks, signal processing and computer techniques to explore new avenues in structural health monitoring (SHM). The consortium involves 5 research centres with complementary expertise: smart materials and structures, signal processing, identification, model updating, damage modelling, wave propagation. The project aims at addressing the following issues: using smart sensing technologies for SHM, extracting features relevant to damage and immune to variability, designing robust methods for autonomous SHM systems.
