Plenary sessions, where selected representatives of academia and different industries will report about their field of expertise in SHM or their request for monitoring in applications such as transportation vehicles, machinery, manufacturing plants or buildings. Speakers from industry may not be deeply associated with SHM but should be recognised and distinguished with regard to maintenance and design of engineering structures.

Parallel sessions split in accordance to different scientific topics addressed. In accordance to the experience of the past, 4 parallel sessions will be anticipated. Duration per paper will be 20 minutes including discussion.

The organising team welcomes the initiative to hold special sessions. The submission of proposals for special sessions is closed. Scheduled Special Sessions you find here.

Poster session will be opened on the first evening of EWSHM 2024 along a reception to be organised on the conference premises and within the exhibition area. Posters will stay during the complete duration of the workshop in the exhibition area, which will also be the area where coffee breaks will be held.  

Technology exhibition, where providers of SHM technology will be given the opportunity to exhibit their technology in different booths indoor. Location of the exhibition will also be the area where coffee breaks will be held.

Technology demonstrators: SHM is expected to cover a structure‘s complete life cycle span starting from manufacturing and ending with recycling in the ideal case. This leads to a variety of disciplines and hence parties to be included which generate a remarkable amount of data that need to be adequately processed to be used for SHM in a most suitable way. An important means to get this explored, demonstrated and validated is through technology demonstrators, which are not limited to a single event only but rather longer term. This should allow the holistic claim of SHM to be better demonstrated, understood and finally applied when compared how SHM has been brought into application in the past. Read more.

Post workshop technical visits to testing facilities and SHM technology, sensor and SHM applications.

Preworkshop seminars to selected topics if specific distinguished tutors can be found. It should be noted that the big air show ILA just finishes on June 9, 2024, the day before EWSHM 2024 will start. A guided tour through ILA with a specific focus on SHM is currently explored to be organised on that day.
