Abstract
AbstractFor the commercial transport aircraft industry, structural health monitoring (SHM) is a relatively new technology, and significant effort is required to define, develop, validate, and certify SHM systems for specific structural applications. Additionally, the systems must be demonstrated to be reliable over an aircraft service life of 30 years with low maintenance costs. This article describes some of the past activities on the part of commercial aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the aircraft operators, and SHM equipment suppliers to evaluate, develop, and certify SHM technologies for potential application to new commercial aircraft designs and the aging commercial aircraft fleet currently in service.
