Call for
Papers
This conference creates an international forum to address the current state-of-the-art technologies in nondestructive characterization and monitoring of advanced materials and aerospace components, as well as technical challenges concerning infrastructure asset management including commercial/public transportation and public utilities. The inspection technologies encompass a cradle-to-grave timeline allowing for the monitoring of the fabrication process (e.g., advanced/additive manufacturing), assessing initial component quality, in-situ monitoring and system health, as well as evaluating repairs/retrofits. The overall theme focuses on identifying and fostering improvements and new developments regarding theory, hardware, implementation strategies, interpretation of data/results, and automation.
This conference will provide a medium for communication and collaborations among engineers and scientists in the following areas:
This conference will provide a medium for communication and collaborations among engineers and scientists in the following areas:
- SHM/NDE of advanced materials (e.g., refractories, polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, foams, high-performance alloys)
- development of NDE and SHM tools for automotive and aerospace components/systems
- life management and system analysis/design methodologies for diagnostics and prognostics of materials and structures
- civil infrastructure management for roads, highways, rail systems, bridges, water systems, dams, levees, pipelines, and power generation (e.g., natural gas, coal, nuclear, wind, hydropower, geothermal, solar, etc.)
- energy (electrical grids, power transmission, pipeline distribution systems, and/or oil and gas exploration)
- SHM/NDE sensor development, MEMS/NEMS, intelligent transportation systems, complex cyber-physical systems via control, networking, verification, and real-time systems to protect infrastructure including aeronautics, civil, materials, energy, automotive, medical, chemical, manufacturing, and agriculture
- continuous and life-cycle monitoring, repair/retrofit for cost mitigation, improving measurement accuracy, reliability, safety, and inspection technologies
- integration of multiple SHM/NDE technologies for improving interpretation of results
- automation of SHM/NDE technologies and industrial applications
