Abstract

Ensuring structural integrity in aircraft is vital for safe operation. This study explores the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems in aviation, focusing on advanced sensor technologies and data processing techniques. We instrumented a representative aircraft component with strain gauges, accelerometers, and acoustic emission sensors to monitor critical structural loads and damage initiation. The key finding is the validation of SHM’s capability to enhance safety, reduce maintenance costs, and extend aircraft service life by providing real-time data on structural health. This work emphasizes SHM as essential for modern aircraft maintenance and safety management. This study offers a comprehensive overview of SHM applications in aviation, aiming to elucidate its role, examine various sensor technologies, explore data processing techniques, and showcase practical implementations. We investigate how SHM enhances safety, reduces maintenance costs, and extends aircraft service life. Our research employed a holistic approach encompassing data acquisition, analysis methodologies, and algorithm development. The sensors were strategically positioned to capture data on critical structural loads, vibrations, and damage initiation and progression.
