SIMS, Canada

Participants : Michael Döhler, Laurent Mevel.

A new project called SIMS is currently ongoing on vibration analysis and monitoring in Canada. This project is funded by Ministry of Transport, British Columbia, Canada. It implies deep collaboration with University of British Columbia, Canada.

SVS and I4S are investigating how to link the modal analysis software ARTeMIS of SVS and COSMAD. Through an annual agreement, I4S gets a license of ARTeMIS in exchange to offer support for integrating our damage detection software into SVS software and offerings. A contract has been signed, where I4S provides algorithms and expertise for integration within a damage detection structural health monitoring system and SVIBS does the implementation. This technology transfer has been funded by the ministry of transportation of British Columbia, Canada. The work is supervised by UBC, CA. The end product will be a web based structural health monitoring system for in operation bridges.

Collaboration on damage localization and monitoring with Boston University

This work is related to the thesis of Luciano Marin. The objective is the draft of an associated Inria team. Currently exchange of postdocs and joint PhD supervision have been done.
