Intelligent Structural Health Management of Aerospace, Mechanical and Civil Structures

The past three and a half weeks have been eventful, to say the least. I don't want to bore you with a week by week or a day by day account of what happened, so I'll summarize the trip to the best of my abilities. Here it goes:

We arrived in Chennai on the midnight of Wednesday, August 5th, and because IIT Madras opened classes on the 9th, we stayed off-campus at the Trident Hotel during our first four days here. Being a nice hotel that catered towards foreigners and the upper class, it was sort of like a gated community. I loved our excursions out of it and into true India.
