---

Specific

Express and discuss relevant issues with respect to SHM related to: 

• Fundamental research in terms of monitoring (visual, mechanical, acoustic, electromagnetic, thermal, etc.), sensors/transducers, signal processing (feature extraction, machine learning) and its transition into application
• Numerical simulation (loads, stress, strain, fatigue, fracture, vibrations, NDT & E, micromechanical systems, etc.) and digital twins within the scope of SHM
• Demonstration of SHM applicability in view of the lateral integration of technologies to be involved
• Structural monitoring in industries such as aerospace, automotive, railway, naval, energy, manufacturing, and civil engineering
• Reflect on SHM applications with regard to available engineering ideas and technologies
• Prognostics and structures’ life cycle health management within the wider scope of SHM
• The role of SHM in the society.
