Overview

Structural Health Monitoring/Management (SHM) in Aerospace Structures provides readers with the spectacular progress that has taken place over the last twenty years with respect to the area of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Management. The SHM field encompasses transdisciplinary areas, including smart materials, sensors and actuators, damage diagnosis and prognosis, signal and image processing algorithms, wireless intelligent sensing, data fusion, and energy harvesting. This book focuses on how SHM techniques can be applied to aircraft, mechanical and civil engineering structures with particular emphasis on composite materials. This will be a valuable reference resource for R&D managers, materials scientists, and engineers working in the aerospace sector, for researchers and system designers working in industry, and for academia and government research agencies developing new systems for the SHM of aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering structures.

Author Information

Professor Yuan is an internationally renowned expert in the field of structural health monitoring, fracture and life prediction of advanced materials and structures, smart materials and structures, and damage tolerance of composite structures. His research is leading to the development of advanced structural health monitoring systems that will fundamentally impact future design and maintenance of large and complex aerospace, mechanical, and civil structures. These systems will reduce maintenance costs and increase asset availability and extend remaining useful life of structures, such as aircraft and bridges, by providing accurate measurement and prediction of damage and degradation at early stages. He brings more than two decades of experience collaborating with NASA Langley Research Center scientists and engineers to his new role as Langley Professor. His research has played a major role toward the advancement of structural health monitoring systems and the understanding of damage tolerance of composite materials and structures.
