New Trends in Vibration Based Structural Health Monitoring

Based on the courses given at the CISM school in 2008, this volume presents a coherent account of state-of-the-art research in the field. The level of exposition is appropriate for postgraduate students or researchers in aerospace, mechanical or civil engineering.

This book is a collection of articles covering the six lecture courses given at the CISM School on this topic in 2008. It features contributions by established international experts and offers a coherent and comprehensive overview of the state-of-the art research in the field, thus addressing both postgraduate students and researchers in aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering.

Gathers contributions from leading experts in the field who have developed the approaches There are no competing monographs Books on structural health monitoring are very scarce, there are none currently focussed on the vibration-based approach Leads the reader from basic principles to the frontiers of research in a unique manner
