Structural Health Monitoring for Advanced Composite Structures: A Review

Structural Health Monitoring of Composite Structures using Artificial Intelligence Protocols

This study discusses a structural health monitoring (SHM) system developed to detect the presence of delamination, and predict its location and size in a composite structure. Two structures are considered in this study: a composite beam and a T-joint structure used in ships. Finite element (FE) models of these structures are created, embedded with delaminations, and the strain distribution alon...

Structural Health Monitoring for Composite Materials

A composite material can be defined as a combination of two or more distinct materials at a macroscopic level to attain new properties that can’t be achieved by those of individual components acting alone. Different from metallic alloys, each material keeps its own chemical, physical and mechanical properties [1]. Composite materials have reinforcing and matrix phases. The reinforcing phase wit...

Structural Health Monitoring Paradigm for Concrete Structures

Structural health monitoring has been one of particular concerns of the engineering community. Effective monitoring, reliable data analysis, rational data interpretation and correct decision making are challenging problems for engineers who specialized in structural health assessment field. Concrete structures were constructed for various purposes in a certain design life in the context of 'mai...
