Call for Abstracts on 2nd Asia-Pacific Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring

With only 22 days to go until the close of abstracts on the 1st of March for this innovative event, now is the time to act.

This is the second in a series of biennial Asia-Pacific workshops that focuses on the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).  This is a particularly promising area that has attracted significant attention in recent years for its wide potential of applications, particularly for civil infrastructures, and maritime and aircraft structures. The purpose of the workshop is to allow a forum where key and emerging technical issues that are critical and unique in structural health monitoring can be discussed and identified, as well as allow current state-of-the-art technologies and R&D activities in the field to be presented. The workshop is also intended to promote exchanges and cross-fertilisation among many disciplines.

The workshop shall focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Sensor and Actuator Development
• Reliability of Structural Health Monitoring Methodologies
• Bio-inspired sensors
• Damage Identification and Properties/ Integrity Characterisation and Assessment: Intelligent Processing of Materials and Structures  
• System Integration
• Applications (particularly in the field of aircraft, automotive, rail and maritime structures, civil and petroleum infrastructure, textiles etc)
• Homeland Security
