| Structural health
monitoring (SHM) systems aim to detect damage occurrence in
critical infrastructure(such as bridges, vital pipelines,
aircrafts and sensitive storage tanks) and potentially inform
the responsibleauthorities about location, nature and severity
of this damage. The problem of damage identification and quantification
has for long haunted and hindered the development of viable
measures for structural surety. Coupled with AI based techniques,
the targeted SHM systems are capable of relating the structural
responses to patterns of structural performance with variable
levels of damge or health. SHM systems are expected to be
able to enhance structural safety and result in considerable
future cost savings through early detection of the need for
maintenance. |
