Organizing an International Symposium

The Fifth World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring (5WCSCM)

The 5WCSCM was held in Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo from July 12-14, 2010 by the committee of 5WCSCM (Chairperson: Y.Fujino and A.Nishitani). The conference was sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and was attended by more than 321 participants from Europe, Asia, North America, Australia and Africa. Keynotes and main lectures are given by prominent experts and professors on the field of structural control, earthquake engineering, and structural health monitoring such as: C.Liu (National Science Foundation-NSF), B.F. Spencer, Jr. (Univ. of Illinois Urban-Champagne), S. Nagarajaiah (Univ. of Rice), K.Law (Stanford) S.Dyke (Univ.Purdue), W. Staszewski (Univ. Sheffield), HJ.Jung（KAIST-Korea), and CC.Chang (Univ.Hong Kong). The total number of 268 papers were presented covering the topic of structural control (50), structural health monitoring(44), system identification (25), experimental structural identification (20), sensing technique and development (20), semi-active control (23), full-scale experiment(10), isolation and passive control (15), smart-structure(5), etc.


Keynote Lecture by Prof. M.Nakashima (U.Kyoto)		The Housner and Kobori Special Session

The conference provides a worldwide forum for academicians and researchers to disseminate the most up-to-date developments on structural control, structural monitoring and smart structure. Eight keynote lectures were delivered describing the concept, development, application, and the future outlook of structural control and health monitoring in different countries. The eight keynote lectures are as follows.

J.Brownjohn：Structural Health Monitoring and Real-Time Performance Diagnosis of Landmarks Structures in the UK
M.Nakashima：Roles of Large –Scale Shaking Table Testing for Verification of Advanced Technologies on Structural Control and Monitoring
Y.Suda：Challenge to Study on Vehicle Systems by Full Scale Experiments
T.Kobori：Practical Examples of Seismic Isolation and Response Control Buildings and Application of Monitoring Systems
F-L.Zhou：Recent Development and Application on Seismic Isolation, Energy Dissipation and Structural Control in Chin
A.Flatau：Recent Advances in Bio-Sensing and Bio-Actuation Concepts
S.Nagarajaiah：Adaptive Stiffness Systems: Recent Developments in Structural Control Using Semiactive/Smart Variable Stiffness and Adaptive Passive Stiffness
C.Boller：Structural Diagnostics and Prognostics for Proactive Life Management of Infrastructure

In the first day, a special tribute was given to Prof. Housner and Prof. Kobori, who passed-away recently in a form of special session to commemorate their contributions to the field of structural control. The second day includes banquet dinner and cruise along the Tokyo Bay as a gathering and warm-welcoming event to introduce the city of Tokyo and to let the participants know each other. Each participant receives a conference kit that includes proceeding file and free-access to the papers from conference’s website.

Tokyo Bay Cruise and Banquet

The conference has successfully attracted structural control and structural monitoring research community worldwide as evidenced by the number of research papers and participants. In addition to its function as a gathering and knowledge-exchanging event for researcher, the conference also provides an outlook to the world on Japanese experience and depth of knowledge on the field of structural control and monitoring. It is also an excellent opportunity for Japanese young researchers and scientists to learn about research paradigm outside Japan. This kind of event is expected to foster further international research collaboration and nurture the next generation of researchers.
