CEE 1370 - INTRODUCTION TO NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION AND STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The course aims at providing an overview of the different techniques for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and the structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil and aerospace structures. Techniques such as electrical resistance strain gauges, fiber optic sensing and ultrasonics will be described within the framework of the NDE. Applications to materials characterization and defect detection will be discussed with emphasis on steel and composite structures. Global and local methods for SHM will be introduced with emphasis on vibration and ultrasonic methods, respectively. The course will also provide the essential tools necessary for the digital signal processing of ultrasonic data. Matlab and laboratory exercises on recent researches will be investigated.
