Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a system used to continuously assess the condition of infrastructure such as bridges, buildings, or aircraft. It involves installing sensors that detect and measure changes, stresses, cracks, or vibrations in the structure. By analyzing this data over time, SHM helps identify early signs of damage or deterioration, enabling maintenance before problems become critical. This process enhances safety, extends the lifespan of structures, and reduces repair costs by providing real-time insights into their integrity without the need for invasive inspections.
