AMIS members awarded at international conferences!

Shulong Zhou, a second-year doctoral student in the AMIS lab, delivered an oral presentation at the International Conference on Aerospace Structural Dynamics (ICASD) and presented his research work on piezoelectric composites. Through the collaborative design of piezoelectric composites at the micro and macro scales, this study proposed a novel sensor integration approach for structural health monitoring. This system combines the structural self-sensing ability with the load-bearing function. The organization committee selected the best oral presentations. The competition was based on the voting of the experts at the venue. Finally, Shulong's talk stood out and won the best oral presentation award.

Runye Lu, a fourth-year doctoral student in the AMIS lab, presented a paper and a poster presentation at the QNDE 2023 conference, reporting his work on the monitoring of bolt loosening. In this study, the nonlinear impedance method was proposed to break through the limitations of traditional methods insensitive to incipient loosening. The nonlinear effect and the change of structural resonance information were used to monitor the bolt throughout the service span. The poster eventually won the best poster of the conference through fierce competition.
