"This is the first comprehensive book that synthesizes multiple interrelated fields in smart civil structures, including structural sensing and monitoring, vibration control, energy harvesting, and self-repairing."-- Yang Wang, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA"The book is a very comprehensive text on the area of smart structural health monitoring, covering material from basics to the state of the art. ...It starts with the nuts and bolts of the monitoring system but then leads up to the state of the art of an end-to-end smart monitoring system, and everything in between."-- Muhammad Imran Rafiq, University of Brighton, UK
