Systems and methods of generating diagnostic images for structural health monitoring

摘要

Systems, methods and recordable media for determining damage index values associated with paths in a network having a plurality of diagnostic network patches (DNP). A method includes the steps of selecting first and second patches to define a path therebetween; causing the first patch to transmit a signal along the path and the second patch to receive the signal; processing the signal received by the second patch to determine a damage index value that is a quantity to be affected by damage in a host structure of the network; and associating the damage index value with the path.
