From November 16 to 18, the Second International Innovation Competition on Structural Health Monitoring for Rail Transit concluded at the Sands Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore. Our institute's research team demonstrated outstanding performance, successfully winning multiple prestigious awards including the Excellence Award, Outstanding Achievement Award, and Best Paper Award.

It is reported that this competition was held in conjunction with the 4th International Symposium on Structural Health Monitoring, with the theme of "green, intelligent, and efficient" operation and maintenance. The event was jointly guided by the China Railway Society and CRRC Group Co., Ltd., and co-hosted by the National Key Laboratory of High-Speed Maglev Transportation Technology and Singapore SMRT Group. It attracted representatives from renowned universities, research institutions, and enterprises from over 20 countries and regions worldwide, featuring nearly 100 competing achievements. This makes it a highly authoritative and influential international event in the field of structural health monitoring for rail transit systems. In this competition, Professor Wang Tiantian and Associate Professor Yang Jinsong led their teams to stand out: their project "Aluminum Alloy Structure Damage Diagnosis" received the Excellence Award, while "Composite Material Damage Prediction" was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award. The academic paper titled "Fatigue Life Prediction Method Considering Material Discreteness Based on Lamb Waves," supervised by the two professors, was recognized as an Outstanding Paper. Both mentors also received the Mentor Award. All achievements were highly praised by the judging panel for their outstanding technological innovation and engineering application value.
