Structural health monitoring of composite structures using guided wave propagation methods KU Leuven
Structural failure in the aerospace, civil and energy sectors can be life threatening for users/passengers and financially catastrophic for operators and the manufacturer. This is the main reason for which critical structures (i.e. aircrafts, wind turbines etc.) spend large part of their lifecycle under inspection with the accompanied costs being significant. On-line detection and characterization of minor failures within complex (composite ...
Non-contact Automatic Structural Health Monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles KU Leuven
This research aims to develop a non-contact, automatic structural health monitoring system (SHM) for operational management and dynamic data access of existing damage prone structures. Unmanned ariel vehicle (UAV) equipped with vision and infrared cameras and using convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm would be implemented for automatic crack detection. Features such as stains, frequencies and accelerations would be extracted for ...
Strategic Research Programme: Smart Structural Health and Usage Monitoring Strategies for Key Technologies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The initial SRP OPTIMech was focused on Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT). This research track was very successful with respect to scientific output, visibility, external funding and valorisation (IOF BruWind). This renewed SRP project will ...
Damage identification in composite materials using Machine Learning techniques for Structural health monitoring Ghent University
Structural Health Monitoring of Vietnamese bridges Ghent University
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has become a central topic in the scientific community in recent decades. Vietnamese government has invested a large amount of money in building infrastructure development. However, the structures are often degraded quickly. This leads to adverse consequences such as damage, and reduction in structure’s lifespan. Therefore, SHM is extremely necessary for infrastructures.

Advanced monitoring of structural adhesive joints during ageing tests through embedded sensors KU Leuven
Applications of adhesive joints are increasing because of new material combinations that are used. The little experiences in structural adhesive joints involves a lot of questions, one of the main questions, is the reliablity of the joint wich is affected by moisture, UV, temperature and other ageing parameters. By monitoring the structural health there will be tried to define the reliability of the joint. This research focuses on the Fibre ...
