DESCRIPTION:IEEE AP/MTT/EMC/ED Turkey Chapter Seminar Series -- Seminar 2\n
 \nSpeaker: Prof. Ayhan Altıntaş\, Bilkent University\n\nTopic: &quot;Design a
 nd Implementation of an Electromagnetic Wireless Passive Structural Health
  Monitoring System&quot;\n\nLocation: Middle East Technical University\, Ankara
 \, Turkey\n\nAbstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an area which
  aims to ensure prevention or detection of damage in structures and protec
 tion of human life via observation of certain damage indicators. In SHM\, 
 one of the most important damage indicators is the strain forming on the s
 teel reinforcing bars (rebars) embedded inside the concrete. This strain c
 an slowly develop over time\, or\, can suddenly occur due to an overload s
 uch as an earthquake. In this study\, a novel wireless passive sensing sys
 tem is presented for detecting and measuring the level of strain and relat
 ive displacement in structures.\n\nBio: Prof. Ayhan Altıntaş received BS
  and MS degrees from Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey\, 
 and Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University\, all in electrical engineerin
 g\, in 1979\, 1981\, and 1986\, respectively. He is a professor of Electri
 cal and Electronics Engineering and is the director of Communication and S
 pectrum Management Research Center (ISYAM) at Bilkent University. He is th
 e recipient of IEEE Third Millennium Medal 2000\, Alexander von Humboldt R
 esearch Fellowship 1998\, TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technical Research Cou
 ncil of Turkey) Research Award 1996. At present\, he is the President of U
 RSI National Committee. Dr. Altıntaş’s research interests are in elect
 romagnetics\, antennas and propagation.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ayhan Altintas\, \n
