Structural Health Monitoring Using Ultrasonic Guided-Waves and the Degree of Health Index
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
This paper proposes a new damage index named degree of health (DoH) to efficiently tackle structural damage monitoring in real-time. As a key contribution, the proposed index relies on a pattern matching methodology that ...
An Empirical Study on Transmission Beamforming for Ultrasonic Guided-Wave Based Structural Health Monitoring
(MDPI, 2020-03-06)
The development of reliable structural health monitoring techniques is enabling a healthy transition from preventive to condition-based maintenance, hence leading to safer and more efficient operation of different industries. ...
Ultrasonic Guided Wave Testing on Cross-Ply Composite Laminate: An Empirical Study
(MDPI, 2020-09-16)
Structural health monitoring comprises a set of techniques to detect defects appearing in structures. One of the most viable techniques is based on the guided ultrasonic wave test (UGWT), which consists of emitting waves ...
Methodology for Detecting Progressive Damage in Structures Using Ultrasound-Guided Waves
(MDPI, 2022-02-21)
Damage detection in structural health monitoring of metallic or composite structures depends on several factors, including the sensor technology and the type of defect that is under the spotlight. Commercial devices generally ...
Ultrasound-based structural health monitoring methodology employing active and passive techniques
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Currently, structures are examined during manufacturing by means of Non Destructive Tests (NDT), but there is an increasing interest in monitoring its integrity over its whole life cycle by using Structural Health Monitoring ...
Hardware proposal for SHM in airborne vehicles
(Elsevier, 2022-02-24)
Nowadays, not only must the structures be in good health when they are manufactured and installed, but also their integrity must be monitored during their life cycle. Nondestructive Test (NDT) techniques are applied in the ...
Proof of concept for impact and flaw detection in airborne structures
(Elsevier, 2022)
All structures are subject to unwanted and uncontrolled bumps. For instance, when considering airborne vehicles, birds, hail, and meteors are usual sources of collision. Depending on the location and energy of the impacts, ...
