Artificial intelligence in structural health monitoring

摘要

Structural Health Monitoring is a large field that comprises various scientific and practical aspects as well as a number of heterogeneous engineering technologies. Accordingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI), which has a long history in computer science, provides a wide variety of methods for coping with monitoring problems that would be difficult to solve with conventional computational techniques alone. Following a survey of AI strategies, this paper presents the synergetic implementation of advanced AI methods in an autonomous, distributed system for monitoring civil engineering structures. Also known as Hybrid Intelligence, this approach is evaluated in a further step within a prototype example.
