Research and Practice of Structural Control and Health Monitoring at Harbin Institute of Technology

Speaker: Prof. Hui LiThis presentation will give an overview of the research activities at HIT in the broad field of structural control and health monitoring of civil infrastructure systems in China. The use of adaptive dampers such as MR devices and shape memory alloys for control applications will be discussed, as well as applications of SHM approaches involving development and implementation of intelligent health monitoring systems for civil infrastructures.An overview will also be provided about the planning of long-range research activities in China in which the National Science Foundation is developing avenues for international collaboration involving structural health monitoring and "intelligent" systems.Biosketch of Prof Li• Professor, School of Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, China
