Structural Health Monitoring of Aerospace Composite Structures
offers a comprehensive review of established and promising
technologies under development in the emerging area of structural
health monitoring (SHM) of aircraft composite structures.
Beginning with a description of the different types of composite
damage, which differ fundamentally from the damage states
encountered in metallic airframe materials, the book moves on to
describe the SHM methods and sensors currently under consideration
before considering application examples related to specific
composites, SHM sensors and detection methods. Expert author Victor
Giurgiutiu closes with a valuable discussion of the advantages and
limitations of various sensors and methods, helping you to make
informed choices in your structure research and development.
With nondestructive continual and on-demand damage detection
high on the agenda in aerospace to manage the structural unknowns
associated with new composite dominated models making their way
into commercial use, Structural Health Monitoring of Aerospace
Composite Structures is an authoritative reference on a critical
topic.
The first comprehensive review of one of the hottest areas in
aerospace structures, providing breadth and detail to bring
engineers and researchers up to speed on this rapidly developing
field
Covers the main classes of SHM sensors, including fiber optic
sensors, piezoelectric wafer active sensors, electrical properties
sensors and conventional resistance strain gauges, and considers
their applications and limitation
Includes details of active approaches, including
acousto-ultrasonics, vibration, frequency transfer function,
guided-wave tomography and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
(ECIS), among other emerging methods
