The actionability of SHM as an essential resource for life-cycle and resilience management is heavily dependent on the advent of low-cost and easily deployable sensors Nonetheless, in optimizing these deployments, a number of open issues remain with respect to the sensing side. These are associated with the type, configuration, and eventual processing of the information acquired from these sensors to deliver continuous behavioral signatures of the monitored structures. This book discusses the latest advances in the field of sensor networks for SHM. The focus lies both in active research on the theoretical foundations of optimally deploying and operating sensor networks and in those technological developments that might designate the next generation of sensing solutions targeted for SHM. The included contributions span the complete SHM information chain, from sensor design to configuration, data interpretation, and triggering of reactive action. The featured papers published in this Special Issue offer an overview of the state of the art and further proceed to introduce novel methods and tools. Particular attention is given to the treatment of uncertainty, which inherently describes the sensed information and the behavior of monitored systems.Sensor Networks in Structural Health MonitoringTechnology: general issuesbicsscadjacent buildingsautoregressive with exogenous inputsBayesian inferenceBayesian model updatingbridgescomputation timedamage detection and localizationdamage identificationdistributed sensor networkerror-domain model falsificationevolutionary optimisationfrequency of entrainmentGaussian process regressioninertial sensor fusioninstrumented particleInternet of Things (IoT)iterative asset-managementMEMSmodal identificationmode shape curvaturesmodel updatingmutual informationn/apractical applicabilityprobabilistic data-interpretationsediment entrainmentsemi-active controlsensor calibrationsensor placement optimisationsoil-structure interaction (SSI)structural dynamicsstructural health monitoringswarm-based parallel control (SPC)varying environmental and operational conditionsTechnology: general issuesChatzi Eleniedt1293625Dertimanis Vasilis KedtChatzi EleniothDertimanis Vasilis KothBOOK9910557504303321Sensor Networks in Structural Health Monitoring: From Theory to Practice3022675UNINA03870nam 2201045z- 450 991055751100332120220111(CKB)5400000000044446(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76960(oapen)doab76960(EXLCZ)99540000000004444620202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTHz: Research Frontiers for New Sources, Imaging and Other Advanced TechnologiesBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 online resource (188 p.)3-0365-2163-1 3-0365-2164-X The THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a frontier research area involving application of many disciplines, from outdoor to indoor communications, security, drug detection, biometrics, food quality control, agriculture, medicine, semiconductors, and air pollution. THz research is highly demanding in term of sources with high power and time resolution, detectors, and new spectrometer systems. Many open questions still exist regarding working at THz frequencies; many materials exhibit unusual or exotic properties in the THz domain, and researchers need new methodologies to exploit these opportunities. This book contains original papers dealing with emerging applications, new devices, sources and detectors, and materials with advanced properties for applications in biomedicine, cultural heritage, technology, and space.THzResearch and information: generalbicsscbiomedical imagingbunch lengthcancer diagnosiscoating materialscoherent synchrotron radiationcoppercross-correlationcultural heritagedamagedetectorsendoscopyenergy recoveryfar infraredFELfree electron laserfree-electron-lasersgraphenehigh-brightness electron beamsHMQ-TMSimaginginfrared analysislaser comb techniqueleaky-wave antennaslinacliquid crystalslow alphametasurfacemicrospectroscopynear-field imagingniobiumnonlinear effectsnonlinear opticsoptical indicesoptical rectificationorganic crystalsparticle acceleratorsproximity effectspump-probespectroscopysuperconductivitysurfacesynchrotron radiationterahertzterahertz pulsed imagingterahertz spectroscopyterahertz time-domain spectroscopyTHzTHz detectorTHz imagingTHz sourceTHz spectroscopyVortex dynamicswaveguide spectroscopywaveguidesResearch and information: generalLupi Stefanoedt605085Irizawa AkinoriedtMarcelli AugustoedtLupi StefanoothIrizawa AkinoriothMarcelli AugustoothBOOK9910557511003321THz: Research Frontiers for New Sources, Imaging and Other Advanced Technologies3021310UNINA
