Bauhaus University Weimar receives a 350 000 EUR grant for funding a "Structural Health Monitoring Laboratory". The laboratory is sponsored by the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRD) and the Thuringian Ministry for Economic Affairs, Science and Digital Society through the "RIS3 Innovation Strategy" of the Free State of Thuringia in compliance with the state directive "Funding of Research, Technology, and Innovations".
The Structural Health Monitoring Laboratory at Bauhaus University Weimar aims at integrating sensing, computing, and actuation technologies. The goal is to provide opportunities for developing innovative, new structural health monitoring concepts towards automated collecting, processing, and analyzing structural, environmental, and operational data of infrastructure systems. Three major areas of structural health monitoring and data analysis will be strengthened, (i) intelligent sensor networks, (ii) mobile/remote monitoring, and (iii) adaptive structures. Embedded into the future concept of Bauhaus University Weimar and the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the SHM lab is located in the university's "Digital Engineering" priority research field. The lab will support a broad wealth of applied research efforts of students and faculty throughout Bauhaus University.
