STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING FOR AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES

The process of implementing a damage identification strategy for aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering infrastructure is referred to as structural health monitoring (SHM). Here, damage is defined as changes to the material and/or geometric properties of these systems, including changes to the boundary conditions and system connectivity, which adversely affect the system’s performance. Sensors are used to identify and even localize damage within the structure. Microcontroller is used to read the data which is obtained from the sensors. This data is transmitted wirelessly through antenna to the receiver where again the data is read from the micro controller. Then the damages found are displayed on the LCD
