This workshop brought together researchers addressing the problem of fracture in cement, ceramics, and rock so that they could share their knowledge and develop a more general syntheses of the problem. This preprint volume contains contributions from lectures for each of the 9 sessions. The final proceedings of this workshop will be published in a hardcover book by Kluewer Academic Publishers (NATO ASI Series). This book will contain 36 chapters; the finalized contributions of 27 lectures and 9 reporters. Keywords: Quasi brittle materials, Toughening mechanisms in materials, Workshop, Cement fracture, Ceramic fracture, Rock fracture. (js).

This open access book presents established methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) and discusses their technological merit in the current aerospace environment. While the aerospace industry aims for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and to decrease maintenance time and operating costs, aircraft structures are often designed and built heavier than required in order to accommodate unpredictable failure. A way to overcome this approach is the use of SHM systems to detect the presence of defects. This book covers all major contemporary aerospace-relevant SHM methods, from the basics of each method to the various defect types that SHM is required to detect to discussion of signal processing developments alongside considerations of aerospace safety requirements. It will be of interest to professionals in industry and academic researchers alike, as well as engineering students. This article/publication is based upon work from COST Action CA18203 (ODIN - http://odin-cost.com/), supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
