8th European Workshop On Structural Health Monitoring (EWSHM 2016)
5-8 July 2016, Spain, Bilbao
Right Now in Bilbao 02:01 Wed 27
AAA - KeynotesStructural Health Monitoring, The Beginning and the End
Abstract »The hallmark of structural health monitoring is change -- changes in loading, changes in the material state, changes in structural performance. The way in which SHM technology can be implemented to realize more reliable and cost effective systems is also changing as we develop a better understanding of how to go from data to decisions. This talk begins by discussing a new research paradigm that combines SHM sensor analytics with process control to monitor and manipulate the material state in the manufacturing of advanced composites. By incorporating white light emitting nanocrystals for monitoring the degree of cure in composite materials as a function of the emission spectrum, the manufacturing process could be optimized for speed and quality despite variations in moisture etc. The talk ends by demonstrating how these same built-in sensors could be used in operation to characterize the early-stage degradation of polymeric composite materials for a range of applications from wind energy to automotive systems.

Biography:
: Dr. Douglas Adams is the Daniel F. Flowers Professor and Distinguished Professor and Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Vanderbilt University and Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research in material and structural system state awareness identifies unique signatures that illuminate how materials and machines degrade in energy, security, and manufacturing applications. He has conducted over 120 sponsored programs, written 260 technical papers, and authored a textbook on structural health monitoring as well as several book chapters. Research awards he has received include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, Society of Experimental Mechanics DeMichele Award, Structural Health Monitoring Person of the Year Award, and he was elected a Fellow of ASME in 2011. Dr Adams has been Managing Editor of the SHM Inttnal Journal
