Structural Health Monitoring/Management (SHM) in Aerospace Structures

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Management in Aerospace and Civil 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.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Management in Aerospace and Civil Structures will be a valuable reference resource for R&D managers, materials scientists and engineers working in the aerospace sector as well as for researchers and system designers working in industry, academia and government research agencies developing new systems for the SHM of aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering structures.
