Sensor Array Networks for Structural Integrity

Abstract

In current technologies, given the high reliability required in almost all systems, the ability to detect a system fault at the earliest possible stage is of primary interest. The routine manual inspections required for structures in mechanical, civil, and aerospace fields, significantly increase maintenance costs while also increasing system efficiency and reducing risk. In addition, diagnostic tools can provide information on inaccessible parts in the structure. To provide the necessary architecture for this health maintenance, an array of sensor is used to monitor the system.
