Abstract

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and longevity of engineering systems, especially in aerospace applications. However, the anisotropy and concealed damage mechanisms of composite materials present significant challenges to conventional monitoring techniques. Recent advancements have focused on multi-modal sensing technologies, such as fiber optic sensors (e.g., distributed gratings) and piezoelectric sensor networks, which offer high sensitivity, real-time capability, and multiplexing benefits. In parallel, the inverse finite element method (iFEM) has emerged as a powerful tool for reconstructing structural displacements from distributed strain data, though its computational load calls for data-driven optimization strategies. Multi-sensor fusion approaches enable more accurate, hierarchical damage detection in composite aircraft structures. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in adapting to harsh environments, ensuring sensor durability, and achieving real-time data processing. Future directions include self-powered smart sensor networks, digital twin integration, and transfer learning for improved generalization under data-scarce conditions, paving the way for intelligent, lightweight SHM systems.
