SYNOPSIS

The talk will define the aspects of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system, SHM is the process of implementing a damage detection strategy for aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering infrastructure. SHM allows the operators to make informed decision and definitely can contribute to economic and life safety advantages. The Statistical Pattern Recognition (SPR) is the core architecture of SHM to be highlighted in this talk follows by few case studies in comprehending the disruptive technologies of SHM from detecting structure anomalies and towards the possibility of incorporating micro energy harvesting system in line with SHM technologies.
