Industrial Sectors

Among all the aspects that are linked to a structural health monitoring (SHM) system, algorithms, strategies, or methods for damage detection are currently playing an important role in improving the operational reliability of critical structures in several industrial sectors. This paper introduces a bioinspired strategy for the detection of structural changes using an artificial immune system (AIS) and a statistical data-driven modeling approach by means of a distributed piezoelectric active sensor network at different actuation phases. Damage detection and classification of structural changes using ultrasonic signals are traditionally performed using methods based on the time of flight. The approach followed in this paper is a data-based approach based on AIS, where sensor data fusion, feature extraction, and pattern recognition are evaluated. One of the key advantages of the proposed methodology is that the need to develop and validate a mathematical model is eliminated. The proposed methodology is applied, tested, and validated with data collected from two sections of an aircraft skin panel. The results show that the presented methodology is able to accurately detect damage.

Variant Analysis

Signal processing is one of the most important elements of structural health monitoring. This paper documents applications of time-variant analysis for damage detection. Two main approaches, the time–frequency and the time–scale analyses are discussed. The discussion is illustrated by application examples relevant to damage detection.

Structural Health

Structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades is challenging due to its large dimensions, as well as the complex and heterogeneous material system. In this article, we will introduce a radically new structural health monitoring approach that uses permanently installed radar sensors in the microwave and millimetre-wave frequency range for remote and in-service inspection of wind turbine blades. The radar sensor is placed at the tower of the wind turbine and irradiates the electromagnetic waves in the direction of the rotating blades. Experimental results for damage detection of complex structures will be presented in a laboratory environment for the case of a 10-mm-thick glass-fibre-reinforced plastic plate, as well as a real blade-tip sample.
