Structural Health Monitoring/Management (SHM) in Aerospace Structures

Structural Health Monitoring/Management (SHM) in Aerospace Structures provides readers with the spectacular progress that has taken place over the last twenty years with respect to the area of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Management.

The SHM field encompasses transdisciplinary areas, including smart materials, sensors and actuators, damage diagnosis and prognosis, signal and image processing algorithms, wireless intelligent sensing, data fusion, and energy harvesting.

This book focuses on how SHM techniques can be applied to aircraft, mechanical and civil engineering structures with particular emphasis on composite materials.

This will be a valuable reference resource for R&D managers, materials scientists, and engineers working in the aerospace sector, for researchers and system designers working in industry, and for academia and government research agencies developing new systems for the SHM of aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering structures.
