Our paper “Variance computation of modal parameters estimates from UPC subspace identification” has won the Best Innovative Paper Award at IOMAC (International Operational Modal Analysis Conference) 2017. Authors are team members Michael Doehler, Laurent Mevel and our industrial partner Palle Andersen (Structural Vibration Solutions A/S, Denmark).

Our paper “Infrared thermography applied to transport infrastructures monitoring: outcomes and perspectives” has won the Best Paper Award for best overall paper at the SPIE Thermosense 2017 conference. Congratulations to Jean Dumoulin and Antoine Crinière!

The PEDAL-LORA monitoring sensor has been awarded the European Railway Cluster Prize in railway innovation. The sensor has been developed in the I4S team by Vincent Le Cam and Ifsttar’s engineers for monitoring of detection pedals, used for train passage detection.

Inverse Scattering for Transmission Lines (ISTL) is an efficient tool for real-time soft fault diagnosis in electrical cables, developed by the team. A demonstrator is now available in the showroom at Inria Rennes, as well as a demonstration video.

Our methods for efficient uncertainty quantification for subspace-based modal analysis have been integrated into the ARTeMIS software of our industrial partner Structural Vibration Solutions A/S. They are released with the new version ARTeMIS Modal Pro 5.0, see details in the newsletter.

Alexandre Nassiopoulos has left the I4S team for the launch of the startup ecotropy. The company deals with the energy assessment and management of buildings, and builds upon the research in the I4S team at IFSTTAR. Jordan Brouns, former PhD student and postdoc in the team, is CTO.

Our paper on damage quantification at the IFAC SAFEPROCESS conference 2015 has been nominated for the Paul M. Frank Award that honors the best theoretical paper.

The I4S team is happy to organize the 7th European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring in Nantes from 8-11 July 2014.
