Stands
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) demonstrative stand
Description:The stand was designed to conduct demonstrative tests of the Structural Health Monitoring methods developed in the Smart-Tech Centre. The trials are conducted on a 3D truss structure characterized in details below. The experiments contain identification of the following modifications: material of the elements (aluminum elements, additional mass, intentionally initiated defects) The truss structure is based on the commercially available M12 system.
