Sensors, Algorithms and Applications for Structural Health Monitoring: IIW Seminar on SHM, 2015 (IIW Collection)

Annotation This book provides insights into sensor development for structural health monitoring. Current technological advances mean that the field is changing rapidly, making standardization an ongoing challenge. As such, the book gathers several essential contributions in the area of sensor development, including macro-fiber composite sensors for crack detection and optical fiber Bragg gratings for flaw detection. It also discusses the use of the welds in the structure as sensors, and probability estimation of detection for various sensor configurations. In addition, it presents methods based on vibration signal variations to detect small defects in composite components or to monitor large structures. Last but not least, the book includes special structural health monitoring applications in industrial components such as a nuclear boiler support spines and industrial presses as well as in corrosion monitoring of pipes Front Matter ....Pages i-xi Introduction to Structural Health Monitoring (Bastien Chapuis)....Pages 1-11 Ultrasonic Monitoring of Corrosion with Permanently Installed Sensors (PIMS) (Frederic Cegla)....Pages 13-20 Passive SHM System for Corrosion Detection by Guided Wave Tomography (Tom Druet, Bastien Chapuis, Manfred Jules, Guillaume Laffont, Emmanuel Moulin)....Pages 21-29 On the Way to Use Welds for Monitoring of Structures Integrity (Slah Yaacoubi, Daniel Chauveau, Fethi Dahmene, Mahjoub El Mountassir)....Pages 31-35 Use of Guided Wave Inspections to Monitor the Integrity of Nuclear Power Station Boilers (Peter Mudge)....Pages 37-46 A Study on Prediction of Fatigue Crack Propagation Life Using MFC Sensors (D.
