Structural health monitoring (SHM) is being widely evaluated by the aerospace industry as a
method to improve the safety and reliability of aircraft structures and also reduce operational …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems provide a useful tool to diagnose any
engineered structural system and eventual critical damage that may occur at any moment …

The paper provides a state of the art review of guided wave based structural health
monitoring (SHM). First, the fundamental concepts of guided wave propagation and its …

Condition-based maintenance refers to the installation of permanent sensors on a
structure/system. By means of early fault detection, severe damage can be avoided, allowing …

Lamb wave is widely recognized as one of the most encouraging tools for structural health
monitoring (SHM) systems. In spite of many favourable characteristics of Lamb wave for …

Shear horizontal (SH) waves are of great importance in structural health monitoring (SHM)
and nondestructive testing (NDT), since the lowest order SH wave in isotropic plates is non …

A physics-based approach to structural health monitoring (SHM) has practical shortcomings
which restrict its suitability to simple structures under well controlled environments. With the …

Composite materials are increasingly used in the aerospace industry. To fully realise the
weight saving potential along with superior mechanical properties that composites offer in …

The early work on long range guided wave nondestructive testing (NDT) was largely done in
industry, and multiple applications were developed before a surge in academic interest …

The birth of smart materials such as piezoelectric (PZT) transducers has aided in
revolutionizing the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) based on non-destructive …
