Health Monitoring of Structural Materials and Components Methods With Applications

"Written by a highly-respected figure in structural health monitoring, this book provides readers with the technical skills and practical understanding required to solve new problems encountered in the emerging field of health monitoring. The book presents a suite of methods and applications in loads identification, in situ damage identification, and damage and performance prediction. Concepts in modeling, measurements and data analysis are applied through real-world case studies to identify loading, assess damage and predict the performance of structural components, as well as examine engine components, automotive accessories, aircraft parts, spacecraft components, civil structures and defense system components." "Health Monitoring of Structural Materials and Components is an excellent text for newcomers to the subject and a useful study tool for students and lecturers. Practitioners and researchers will also find this book an essential reference that addresses current and future challenges in this field. The wide variety of case studies will appeal to a broad spectrum of engineers in the aerospace, civil, mechanical, machinery and defense communities."--BOOK JACKET.Adams, Douglas E. is the author of 'Health Monitoring of Structural Materials and Components Methods With Applications', published 2007 under ISBN 9780470033135 and ISBN 0470033134.
