Abstract:
The 27 peer-reviewed papers collected here together offer a plenitude of up-to-date information on "Embodying Intelligence in Structures and Integrated Systems". The papers are conveniently arranged into: Chapter 1: Smart Materials, Sensors, Actuators, MEMS, Chapter 2: Integration Technologies, Chapter 3: Smart Structures and Integrated Systems, Chapter 4: Structural Health Monitoring and Control.Review from Book News Inc.:Approximately 800 papers selected from the conference are published in10 volumes, each documenting a symposium. This seventh volume is editedby Peitro Vincenzini, Fabio Casciati, and Piervencenzo Rizzo. The 27papers cover smart materials, sensors, actuators, andmicro-electro-mechanical systems; integration technologies; smartstructures and integrated systems; and structural health monitoring andcontrol. Among specific topics are developing some smart sensors formonitoring civil infrastructures, insight and applications in energyharvesting from bullets to birds, vibration-based damage detection underchanging environmental and operational conditions, real-time smartabstract shape identifiers, monitoring railroad tracks with ultrasonicguided waves, and analyzing the location of sensors in nonlinearacoustics to detect damage in composite chiral sandwich panels.
