This AI system can be applied in various real-world scenarios, such as: - Bridge Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of bridges to detect early signs of wear and prevent collapses. - Building Inspections: Routine assessments of high-rise buildings to identify structural weaknesses. In the future, this AI could be explored and used by the entire population to identify construction anomalies and structural pathologies. Suppose you are in your room and suddenly notice a large crack in the main pillar of your roof. When this AI is ready, you will simply need to take 2 or 3 photos of the concerned area from different angles. The device will immediately analyze the damage, compare it with its data, describe the situation, and provide you with recommendations. The system could also automatically alert engineers and the government based on the severity of the case. Additionally, the system will have an integrated thermal camera to analyze thermal factors, determining the depth of the damage and the affected area.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a relatively new and alternative way of non-destructive inspection (NDI). It is the process of implementing a damage detection and characterization strategy for composite structures. The basis of SHM is the application of permanent fixed sensors on a structure, combined with minimum manual intervention to monitor its structural integrity. These sensors detect changes to the material and/or geometric properties of a structural system, including changes to the boundary conditions and system connectivity, which adversely affect the system's performance.This book's primary focus is on the diagnostics element of SHM, namely damage detection in composite structures. The techniques covered include the use of Piezoelectric transducers for active and passive Ultrasonics guided waves and electromechanical impedance measurements, and fiber optic sensors for strain sensing. It also includes numerical modeling of wave propagation in composite structures. Contributed chapters written by leading researchers in the field describe each of these techniques, making it a key text for researchers and NDI practitioners as well as postgraduate students in a number of specialties including materials, aerospace, mechanical and computational engineering.

This book is organized around the various sensing techniques used to achieve structural health monitoring. Its main focus is on sensors, signal and data reduction methods and inverse techniques, which enable the identification of the physical parameters, affected by the presence of the damage, on which a diagnostic is established. Structural Health Monitoring is not oriented by the type of applications or linked to special classes of problems, but rather presents broader families of techniques: vibration and modal analysis; optical fibre sensing; acousto-ultrasonics, using piezoelectric transducers; and electric and electromagnetic techniques. Each chapter has been written by specialists in the subject area who possess a broad range of practical experience. The book will be accessible to students and those new to the field, but the exhaustive overview of present research and development, as well as the numerous references provided, also make it required reading for experienced researchers and engineers.
