Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an emerging field of study to develop embedded Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) system. By implementing active sensors, real-time damage detection and health monitoring of the host-structure can be achieved. It possesses great potential for future industrial applications to enhance the structural reliability, reduce maintenance cost, and shorten downtime.
