Providing quality research for the reader, this title encompassesall the recent developments in smart sensor technology for healthmonitoring in aerospace structures, providing a valuableintroduction to damage detection techniques. Focussing onengineering applications, all chapters are written by smartstructures and materials experts from aerospace manufacturers andresearch/academic institutions.
This key reference:
* Discusses the most important aspects related to smarttechnologies for damage detection; this includes not onlymonitoring techniques but also aspects related to specifications,design parameters, assessment and qualification routes.
* Presents real case studies and applications; this includesin-flight tests; the work presented goes far beyond academicresearch applications.
* Displays a balance between theoretical developments andengineering applications
