AA 257: Structural Health Monitoring

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an emerging technology that provides high-resolution real-time state-sensing, awareness, and self-diagnostic capabilities of structures in service enabled by different types of sensors. SHM is a technology that is designed to interface with the industrial internet of things (IIoT) environment (a) to extend the duration of the service life; (b) to increase the reliability; (c) to reduce the maintenance cost and operational cost. The course will provide in-depth knowledge of two basic damage detection methods for SHM, (a) active sensing and (b) passive sensing. This course will also discuss different kinds of smart materials and sensors, including piezoelectric materials as sensing and actuating elements to interrogate the structures. Advanced signal processing techniques and different types of diagnostics techniques will be discussed and applied to various damage scenarios for qualitative and quantitative measurements. The class will involve structural dynamics, wave propagation, signal processing, finite element methods, and study test cases. Prerequisite: 240 or consent of instructor.

CEE 207A: Understand Energy (CEE 107A, EARTHSYS 103, ENERGY 107A, ENERGY 207A)

NOTE: This course will be taught in-person on main campus, lectures are recorded and available asynchronously. Energy is the number one contributor to climate change and has significant consequences for our society, political system, economy, and environment. Energy is also a fundamental driver of human development and opportunity. In taking this course, students will not only understand the fundamentals of each energy resource - including significance and potential, conversion processes and technologies, drivers and barriers, policy and regulation, and social, economic, and environmental impacts - students will also be able to put this in the context of the broader energy system. Both depletable and renewable energy resources are covered, including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, biomass and biofuel, hydroelectric, wind, solar thermal and photovoltaics (PV), geothermal, and ocean energy, with cross-cutting topics including electricity, storage, climate change and greenhouse gas emiss more »
