Structural Health Monitoring

The book presents the proceedings of the 9th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring. With the increasing worldwide emphasis on asset sustainability, there is a trend toward Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM). Both approaches require diagnostic systems which detect damage and monitor structural health and/or prognostic systems that predict the future health of a structure.
