Concrete Health Monitoring: A New, Simplified Approach to SHM Analysis

Image
Hello. Hallo. Ciao. In my previous blog [ First secondment at ISAMGEO, Italy ], I talked about my PhD research topic and the opportunity to learn new skills through the secondment and industrial pieces of training. Now, I'm excited to share the progress of my research, which I recently presented at the ISMA 2024 Conference in Leuven, Belgium. The core of this research focuses on enhancing structural health monitoring (SHM) for concrete infrastructure—a critical area to ensure the safety and longevity of structures, especially amid changing environmental conditions. The Challenge of Environmental Compensation in SHM Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems play a crucial role in detecting damage in structures by using embedded sensors that continuously track changes in material conditions. However, these sensors are highly sensitive to environmental conditions, particularly temperature variations, which can lead to misinterpretations or “false-positive” damage alerts. For concre...

Hello everyone! I'm Jitendra Kumar Sharma from India, and I'm excited to share my journey with you. I started my academic path with a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, followed by a master's in Mechanical Engineering. Alongside my studies, I gained valuable industrial experience in the Aerospace industry, working with AIRBUS in India for 2.5 years. My journey took an international turn when I got the opportunity to work as a Research Assistant at the Institute of Fluid-flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland. Later, I moved to the United Kingdom and continued my research journey as a Research Assistant at Swansea University. Driven by my passion for research and industrial experience, I set my sights on pursuing a PhD. In October 2023, I got the opportunity to get a PhD at Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium which is fully funded by Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions - Doctoral Network (HORIZON-MSCA-2021-DN-01-01). This prestigious scholar...
