'''Abstract''': Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a remote non-destructive inspection technique that enables instantaneous maintenance request when the system’s health fall below a predefined level of confidence. The concept of SHM is to continuously monitor the state of a structure with permanently installed sensors and allow for condition-based maintenance (CBM) where maintenance action is carried out only when a threat to the structures’ integrity is detected.

SHM systems consist of various sensors types integrated within the structure to record its response to external events under various environmental and operation conditions.

Structural health monitoring of engineering structures: introduction, developments, and challenges

Zahra Sharif Khodaei | Department of Aeronautics | Faculty of Engineering | Imperial College London

Abstract: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a remote non-destructive inspection technique that enables instantaneous maintenance request when the system’s health fall below a predefined level of confidence. The concept of SHM is to continuously monitor the state of a structure with permanently installed sensors and allow for condition-based maintenance (CBM) where maintenance action is carried out only when a threat to the structures’ integrity is detected. SHM has been recognized as an attractive solution for the life management of engineering structures. SHM systems consist of various sensors types integrated within the structure to record its response to external events under various environmental and operation conditions.

This talk aims to introduce the concept of SHM, mainly guided wave based methodology with the particular focus on damage detection and characterization in composite structures. Some of the existing challenges and their proposed solutions for the uptake of the SHM systems in real structures under operation will also be emphasised.
