Structural Health Monitoring: A Review

Abstract

Structural health monitoring is a process of accessing the condition of a structure. It is a damage detection
process of structures comprising civil, aeronautics and mechanical infrastructure. Unlike traditional techniques
which required destructive approach, this new and improved process enables load monitoring and damage detection
in real-time without changing the integrity of structure. This paper presents the various techniques used along with
addition of modern sensors. New and improved ways of crack detection, strength evaluation and curing process
monitoring are gaining attention among researchers.
