Professor Tribikram Kundu from the University of Arizona visited JI

Professor Tribikram Kundu, from the University of Arizona, visited JI and delivered a lecture of “Recent Developments In Non-Destructive Testing and Structural Health Monitoring Technology” on December 19th, 2023. The presentation covered the research carried out by the speaker over the last three decades on structural health monitoring and non-destructive evaluation techniques for engineering and biological materials and structures. In particular, it focused on acoustic source localization (ASL) and damage detection techniques using linear and nonlinear ultrasonic methods. The SJTU scholars and AMIS researchers had a great opportunity to communicate with Professor Kundu.
