Einführung in die Dauerüberwachung von Tragwerken

What it is about

You will learn automated, continuous monitoring of structural systems (e.g., tall buildings, bridges, offshore installations, power plants, aircraft and spacecraft structures). In the end you will be able to capture and process data, extract damage-indicating features, apply data-based as well as Digital-Twin-supported diagnostic methods, and consider the influences of environmental and operating conditions.

What you will be able to do

• Differentiate SHM from non-destructive testing and evaluate suitable procedures
• Understand the assumptions and limits of SHM
• Compress data and extract damage-indicating features
• Utilize established machine-learning approaches for evaluation
• Develop a basic understanding of Digital Twins and their use in SHM
• Eliminate effects of variable environmental and operating conditions
• Improve basic programming skills and use MATLAB SHM packages
• Independently solve typical engineering problems
