SMART Platform for Structural Health Monitoring of Sensorised Stiffened Composite Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

A SMART Platform is developed based on sensor readings for Structural Health Monitoring of a stiffened composite panel. The platforms main function is divided into three categories: Passive sensing, Active sensing and Optimal sensor positioning. The platform has self-diagnostic capabilities, i.e. prior to its application the health of the sensors and their connection will be checked to avoid any false alarm. Passive sensing results in impact location and force magnitude detection. Active sensing is performed for damage detection. It results in detecting the damage location and severity. Finally the optimal sensor location can be provided given the number of sensors and probability of detection value. This platform is the first step in applying the developed SHM methodologies to real size structures in service load conditions.
