摘要: |
Structural health monitoring is an important safety factor in aviation that might benefit from advanced smart systems for damage sensing and signal processing. Current levels of structural safety and reliability do not present a particularly strong case for smart systems but cost considerations related to inspection and maintenance do. As an added benefit problems of poor accessibility and negative effects of human factors in inspection might k.3 reduced. The implementation of such system requires development and demonstration by dedicated and qualified multidisciplinary teams, acceptance by aircraft designers, manufacturers and operators and approval by the authorities. Current European collaborative schemes and the associated funding in conjunction with an apparent interest among potential end users provide excellent prospects for the realisation of smart solutions. |
