METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

摘要

A system for monitoring physical and environmental conditions of an object can include one or more sensing devices affixed or mounted to the object. The sensing devices produce sensor data (e.g. motion, vibration, impact, temperature, stress and strain) that can be used to anticipate failure or for operation and/or maintenance purposes. The sensing devices can positioned on structures such as a building or an oil rig, on vehicles such as on airplanes, trains, ships and motor vehicles, and on moving devices such as wind turbines and draw bridges.
