Impedance-based structural health monitoring

Abstract

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. All rights are reserved.Structural Health Monitoring-SHM-is known as the nondestructive process of online, in service, allowing the systems and structures to monitor their own integrity all along their useful lives. The most important goals in this context are to prevent failures, to increase security, and to reduce maintenance costs. One of the most important available techniques is the so-called impedance-based structural health monitoring, which is the focus of the present chapter. Practical implementations of the technique are described for illustration purposes.
