Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and structural control are nowadays of crucial importance to preserve several types of structures like buildings, bridges, railway tracks, offshore platforms and wind turbines from failure and significant damage due to dynamic loads. This mini-symposium will offer an opportunity for young Ph.D. students to discuss challenges and advances in SHM and innovative strategies for vibrations control in order to ensure safety and preservation of existing and new structures. The mini-symposium will be focused on the most recent developments in theoretical, experimental and practical cases concerning the following topics:
- Structural vibration-based identification;
- Strategies for continuous SHM;
- Innovative methods to detect and/or localize structural damage;
- Automated or semi-automated algorithms for structural identification and SHM;
- Analysis and development of innovative control devices;
- Optimal design of devices to reduce structural vibrations.
