Description
Due to the increased use of composite materials in aerospace, energy, automobile, and civil infrastructure applications, concern over composite material failures has grown, creating a need for smart composite structures that are able to self-diagnose and self-heal.
Structural Health Monitoring Technologies and Next-Generation Smart Composite Structures provides valuable insight into cutting-edge advances in SHM, smart materials, and smart structures. Comprised of chapters authored by leading researchers in their respective fields, this edited book showcases exciting developments in general embedded sensor technologies, general sensor technologies, sensor response interrogation and data communication, damage matrix formulation, damage mechanics and analysis, smart materials and structures, and SHM in aerospace applications. Each chapter makes a significant contribution to the prevention of structural failures by describing methods that increase safety and reduce maintenance costs in a variety of SHM applications.

Reviews / Votes
"The primary strength of this book is the range of the structural health monitoring (SHM) topics that are covered. ... This book covers methods that are generally not covered in the existing SHM books, but that are extensively researched. Thus, this book adds a significant scientific value to the SHM community, from cutting-edge SHM research to the design of new SHM courses to teach a new generation of students. ... [The book] provides necessary knowledge and tools for implementing SHM to solve multiple problems of a multidisciplinary nature in a step-by-step approach. Through the sequence of the chapters, one understands the big picture and could also refer to the smallest details on the issues usually faced during the implementation of SHM. Existing books are limited to providing ideas on the conceptual understanding of SHM only. ... The authors are established researchers in SHM with a strong publication track record."-Dr. Sourav Banerjee, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA
"... an excellent collection of the most relevant topics of advanced SHM systems. ... provides a blend of conventional and emerging applications of SHM. The coverage of topics is highly relevant to the new era of advanced materials and structures, such as smart composites."
-Dr. Raj Das, University of Auckland, New Zealand
"... a truly multidisciplinary book that is essential reading for researchers and academics working on SHM and smart composite structures. ... The book provides an outstanding overview of different kinds of technologies and sensing techniques applied to advanced damage identification in composite structures. The applications presented throughout the book illustrate the feasibility of the techniques when applied to real composite structures."
-Prof. Mario A. de Oliveira, Mato Grosso Federal Institute of Technology, Brazil
"... gives good insight into recent sensor and sensor system advances under development for SHM applications, primarily with
