Researchers met at Hochschule Bochum for the DFG scientific network meeting “Towards a holistic quality assessment for guided wave-based SHM”. More information on the project can be found here: https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/424954879?language=enRead More
Millimeter wave radar technology was installed on a wind measuring mast in the alpine region. This sensor installation is a partnership with Windsfeld GmbH (https://www.windsfeld.at/index.html and https://www.windsfeld.at/imageandfilms.html) More information: https://salzburg.orf.at/stories/3066964/ Photos: Moritz MälzerRead More
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (impact factor of 3.429 in 2019) publishes our article on ultrasonic data transmission across metal structures affected by environmental conditions. Abstract: Variable environmental conditions present a major hurdle for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems which involve the signal processing of Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGW). Two important cases of...Read More
A journal paper describing a contribution to the open guided waves platform has been accepted for publication in Applied Sciences. Abstract: The third dataset dedicated to the Open Guided Waves platform aims at carbon fiber composite plates with an additional omega stringer at constant temperature conditions. The two structures used in this work are representative...Read More
Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue is aimed at the submission of both review and original research articles related to smart sensors in the framework of a structural health monitoring (SHM) system. This includes sensor technologies that automatically detect damage based on its direct sensing principle. On the other hand, a smart sensor or smart sensor...Read More
Ultra-wideband microwave radiation can be used for damage detection and damage localization on the surface of metallic structures. An article describing the methodology has been published in the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies. Abstract: Electromagnetic waves in the microwave and millimeter-wave frequency range are used in nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring applications...Read More
The detection of rain using mm-wave radar has been demonstrated in our recent research. Numerical simulations were able to model the experimental measurements. A journal paper was accepted in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing. Abstract: Radar technology in the mm-wave frequency band offers many interesting features for...Read More
The GW4SHM project, funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2019-860104), aims at training a new generation of researchers skilled in all aspects of Structural Health Monitoring focusing on aeronautics, petrochemistry and the automotive sector.
