Structural Health Monitoring Approach to the Aerospace Structures

In the article only selected information regarding the SHM applications has been presented. These applications are associated with damage detection and damage growth monitoring. That approach has got crucial influence on the aircraft maintenance procedures. SHM ensures higher reliability and safety of the structures as well as repair monitoring. Right now in the AFIT, there is being conducted research work focused on the application of the SHM system for the integration with the aerospace structures for periodical and on-line monitoring.
