Special Issue on Experiments and Simulation in Structural Health Monitoring Systems
In the last years, thanks to the recent progress in sensing technology, a significant interest has been pointed out in the capability of Structural Health Monitoring to enable flaws detection, the consequent residual service life assessment, the improvement of damage tolerance criteria as well as the reduction of maintenance and repair costs. Although Structural Health Monitoring technologies have increasingly been investigated recently, their capability should be still improved from an industrial point of view. This Special issue is addressed to collect papers proposing recent advances in the research and development of Structural Health Monitoring systems. Results of theoretical, analytical, numerical, or experimental investigations can be presented. Review articles can be also proposed.
Potential topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Numerical techniques for modelling Structural Health Monitoring systems;
- Numerical simulation and experiments dealing with damage detection and characterization;
- Not-destructive testing technique;
- Active and passive sensors for structural health monitoring;
- Structural Health Monitoring for maintenance issues;
- Statistical pattern recognition methods and algorithms for damage detection.
