Nondestructive Evaluation and Self-Monitoring Materials
Abstract
This report is a response to a request from DARPA for a JASON study to evaluate existing and novel approaches to condition-based maintenance. Our guidance was to avoid the area of "smart materials", which is by itself an active area of research with which DARPA is quite familiar. In addition, the JASON study was narrowed to exclude the research area devoted to developing self-healing materials, i.e., materials that not only detect a change and produce a signal when the change occurs, but which also deform or reorganize structurally at either the macroscopic or microscopic level to counteract any harmful operational effects due to such changes. Instead, the JASON study focused primarily on methods through which condition-based maintenance could be facilitated, improved, and/or enhanced.
