TLDR
Technical challenges that must be addressed if SHM is to gain wider application are discussed in a general manner and the historical overview and summarizing the SPR paradigm are provided.Abstract:
This introduction begins with a brief history of SHM technology development. Recent research has begun to recognise that a productive approach to the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) problem is to regard it as one of statistical pattern recognition (SPR); a paradigm addressing the problem in such a way is described in detail herein as it forms the basis for the organisation of this book. In the process of providing the historical overview and summarising the SPR paradigm, the subsequent chapters in this book are cited in an effort to show how they fit into this overview of SHM. In the conclusions are stated a number of technical challenges that the authors believe must be addressed if SHM is to gain wider acceptance.read more

Infrared thermography for condition monitoring – A review
TL;DR: This review focuses on the advances of IRT as a non-contact and non-invasive condition monitoring tool for machineries, equipment and processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of environmental and operational variability on structural health monitoring.
TL;DR: Data normalization is a procedure to normalize datasets, so that signal changes caused by operational and environmental variations of the system can be separated from structural changes of interest, such as structural deterioration or degradation.

Introduction to Statistical Quality Control
TL;DR: There are valuable points here; they are, however, generally too hard to find and some of them are undercut by the author’s misguided attempt to be “fair.”

Damage identification and health monitoring of structural and mechanical systems from changes in their vibration characteristics: A literature review
TL;DR: A review of the technical literature concerning the detection, location, and characterization of structural damage via techniques that examine changes in measured structural vibration response is presented in this article, where the authors categorize the methods according to required measured data and analysis technique.
A review of structural health monitoring literature 1996-2001
TL;DR: An updated review covering the years 1996 2001 will summarize the outcome of an updated review of the structural health monitoring literature, finding that although there are many more SHM studies being reported, the investigators, in general, have not yet fully embraced the well-developed tools from statistical pattern recognition.
