Course material development for a graduate course on Structural Health Monitoring
Structural Health Monitoring(SHM)refers to evaluating the integrity of structural components at real-time using a variety of sensing techniques,for the purpose of providing advanced warning of impending structural failures.It has become an increasingly important technology in civil,aerospace,and structural engineering to ensure safe operation of various structures,such as bridges,skyscrapers,and aircrafts,etc.Researches on SHM are highly multi-disciplinary,requiring the researchers to have a broad knowledge on subjects traditionally falling under the category of aerospace/structural/mechanical engineering,materials science,electrical engineering,computer science,etc.Students enrolled in a graduate course on SHM are likely to come from several different academic departments with various technical focuses.This paper presents the course materials we developed for a new graduate course on sensor technologies for SHM.The course materials were grouped into four course modules,fundamentals of SHM,vibration-based damage detection,guided stress wave for SHM,and optical fiber sensors.Two projects and a final project were designed to provide students with hands-on experience on modeling,sensor technologies,and data acquisition systems.Lessons learned from teaching this new course and suggested improvement on the course materials are presented.
