Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an emerging technology, dealing with the development and implementation of techniques and systems where monitoring, inspection and damage detection become an integral part of structures and thus a matter of automation. It further merges with a variety of techniques related to diagnostics and prognostics.
SHM emerged from the field of smart structures and laterally encompasses disciplines such as structural dynamics, materials and structures, fatigue and fracture, non-destructive testing and evaluation, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, signal processing and much more. To be effective in the development of SHM systems, a multidisciplinary approach is therefore required. Without this global view it will be difficult for engineers to holistically manage the operation of an engineering structure through its life cycle in the future and to generate new breakthroughs in structural engineering.
In 2012 EWSHM, the 6th conference in this series, will be merged a very first time with the 1st European Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) Society. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has become an increasingly important subject, specifically within the context of getting SHM into application. The Prognostics and Health Management Society (PHM Society) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of PHM as an engineering discipline. This is the Society’s first conference in Europe and the first held jointly with SHM. The Conference will bring together the global community of PHM experts from industry, academia, and government in perse application areas such as energy, aerospace, transportation, automotive, and industrial automation. The conference will feature tutorials, a panel session, technical papers and a joint session with SHM.
Topics of Interest:
PHM system design and engineering
PHM sensors and detection methodologies
Physics of failure prognostics
Asset health management
Structural health management
PHM for electronics
Diagnosis and fault isolation methods
Data-driven and model-based prognostics
Condition-Based Maintenance technologies
Standards and methodologies
Fault-adaptive control methods
Return-on-investment analysis
Deployed applications and success stories
Bringing SHM and PHM therefore next to each other along two conferences held with a significant overlap will therefore provide the two communities with some new dimensions hopefully bringing added value to both of them.
EWSHM addresses a fairly wide field in science including subjects such as:
Physical monitoring principles in general (visual, mechanical, acoustic, electrical, thermal, etc.)
Signal processing (FFT, wavelet, PCA, feature extraction, pattern recognition, etc.)
Structural simulation (stress & strain, modal, acoustics, electromagnetics, thermal, neural networks, etc.)
Sensors and sensor systems (piezoelectric, fibre optic, electromagnetic, MEMS, nano agents, etc.)
Principles of SHM-based structural monitoring, design, and maintenance
SHM applications (aerospace, marine, railway, automotive, pipelines, civil engineering, energy generation and distribution, production, etc.)

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
