Structural Health Management (SHM) is a key part of the
Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) approach, whose main
aim is to develop an integrated end-to-end system to monitor the
overall health of a vehicle.
Structural Health Monitoring: Current State and Future
Trends, edited by Professor Alessandro Pegoretti, a scholar
from the University of Trento in Italy, introduces the reader to
recent developments involved in health monitoring of aerospace
structures. The chapters, represented by seminal SAE International
technical papers, offer an overview of the most recent advances in
the sensing techniques for SHM, analysis of SHM data and its
applications in aerospace.
SHM can allow a continuous in-service inspection of the vehicle,
thus reducing the cost associated with manual inspection at
predetermined time intervals.
The availability of reliable information on the loading conditions
and health state of structural components by the implementation of
SHM can be beneficial for several reasons, such as:
• To prevent catastrophic failure
• To reduce the number and the cost of unnecessary
inspections
• To improve the design of structural parts, with a reduction of
the weight and the costs of overdesigned components
Structural Health Monitoring: Current State and Future
Trends offers a unique perspective on this field.
