Structural Health Monitoring

An International Journal

eISSN: 17413168 | ISSN: 14759217 | Current volume: 23 | Current issue: 5 Frequency: Bi-monthly

Structural Health Monitoring is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research that contain theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations that advance the body of knowledge and its application in the discipline of structural health monitoring.

The journal has a broad topical coverage and it serves as a primary reference for the structural health monitoring of aeronautical, mechanical, civil, electrical, and other systems. The multidisciplinary nature of the journal is intended to foster the intersection of different technologies to address the varied needs and applications for structural health monitoring. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The Achenbach Medal

At the IWSHM 2009 conference at Stanford University the Achenbach Medal has been created to recognize the outstanding contribution of a young investigator (within 10 years of his/her Ph.D).

Details of this award are listed below.

1) The Achenbach medal will be awarded to a young individual (within 10 years of

Ph.D) for his/her outstanding research contribution in the field of Structural Health Monitoring.

2) Every year only one individual will be selected for this honor - every year the nomination deadline is October 31.

3) It is an international award and nominations from all over the world are encouraged.

4) For nomination please send by October 31 a nomination letter (one page limit) emphasizing the basis of the nomination along with a 2-page long CV that should contain the publication and citation records of the nominee (among his/her other contributions) to Professor Tribikram Kundu (tkundu@email.arizona.edu).

5) Self nomination is not allowed.

6) The award will be formally presented at the SHM workshop banquet in the following year.

Past winners

2010 – Dr. Sourav Banerjee

Structural Health Monitoring is available online.

Structural Health Monitoring publishes peer-reviewed papers that contain theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations that advance the body of knowledge and its application in the discipline of structural health monitoring.

The journal has a broad topical coverage and it serves as a primary reference for the structural health monitoring of aeronautical, mechanical, civil, electrical, and other systems. The multidisciplinary nature of the journal is intended to foster the intersection of different technologies to address the varied needs and applications for structural health monitoring.

Papers are sought that explore the following issues and areas related to structural health monitoring:

  • self-diagnostics, prognostics, condition-based maintenance and performance
  • vibration and wave propagation methods for damage assessment
  • advanced signal processing and interpretation techniques for monitoring and diagnostics
  • sensor design, self-powered and low power sensors
  • data mining, data management
  • the use of smart materials and new sensor materials
  • monitoring of composite, metallic, new, and aging structures and infrastructure
  • monitoring of structural repairs
  • sensor network design, data transmission, wired and wireless communication
  • embedding technology, sensor/structure integration technology
  • development of self-repairable structures
  • monitoring of survivability and readiness assessment
  • structural integrity and remaining life predictions based on sensor management
  • design of multifunctional structures and integration of structural health monitoring and control
  • sensors for high temperature applications, in-situ sensors
  • monitoring of biomechanical, electromechanical, and thermal systems
  • fault diagnosis of avionics, propulsion, power, and electronic systems
  • structural health monitoring system integration and validation
  • bio-nanotechnology applied to structural monitoring
  • interdisciplinary approaches and applications for structural health monitoring
