Innovation in Smart Materials and Structural Health Monitoring for Composite Applications

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an automated approach to determine any changes in the integrity of mechanical systems. The SHM system gives information in real time and online. It is thus very useful in damage detection, damage localization, damage assessment and life prediction.
