Structural health monitoring (SHM) is focused on the systematic of state structures to determine their safety, dependability, and durability [...]

Abstract The structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection of offshore platforms, one the most common marine structures operating in a hostile environment, have gained global attention recent years. This paper presents review vibration-based identification methods used for SHM platforms. application progress these are discussed some case studies analyzed. challenges future work summar...

This paper presents an agent-based artificial immune system approach for adaptive damage detection in distributed monitoring networks. The presented approach establishes a new monitoring paradigm by embodying desirable immune attributes, such as adaptation, immune pattern recognition, and selforganization, into monitoring networks. In the artificial immune system-based paradigm, a group of auto...

Life cycle monitoring of civil infrastructure such as bridges and buildings is critical to the long-term operational cost and safety of aging structures. The widespread use of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems is limited due to unavailability of specialized data acquisition equipment, high cost of generic equipment, and absence of fully automatic decision support systems. The goals of ...

In this paper, a new approach using mobile sensor networks is proposed for structural health monitoring. Compared with static sensors, mobile sensor networks offer flexible system architectures with adaptive spatial resolutions. The paper describes the design concept of a flexure-based mechatronic (flexonic) mobile sensing node and its application in structural health monitoring. The flexonic m...
