报告简介：
Real-time state awareness of critical structures can significantly influence decisions on their operation in a cost-effective, reliable, and safe manner. Intelligent sensor networks that can be integrated with materials and structures provide a key solution to state awareness. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology can be utilized as a foundation to create a platform that is needed for construction of the “intelligent structures”.
This presentation will highlight recent progress in SHM toward the design of intelligent structures in the Structures and Composites Laboratory at Stanford with emphasis on multifunctional materials for self-diagnosis, robotic arms and unmanned aerial vehicle with sensory skins to enhance self-awareness. However, design, fabrication and characterization of this new class of the materials involve multiple disciplines across the engineering fields and a paradigm change from traditional design principle. New challenges in research, education and implementation of the materials will be discussed.
