Structural Sensing, Health Monitoring, and Performance Evaluation - D. Huston - Bog

Written by a highly respected expert in the field, this book provides the first comprehensive coverage of SHM. It reviews the various types of sensors currently used in SHM and explains the processing and interpretation of data from a number of sensors working in parallel to form rational assessments and prognoses. After considering issues related to the structures themselves, the author surveys the design of a tailor-made SHM system. He also presents a collection of case studies, many of which are drawn from his own experiences.
