Door surrounding structure of an aircraft fuselage with integrated SHM network
Integrated structural health monitoring (SHM) with Lamb waves is a promising technique for continuously checking fibre composite structures for damage during operation. Reliable detection and localisation of damage poses a particular challenge, especially in complex aerospace structures. For this reason, a door surrounding structure with an integrated SHM network is being developed and manufactured in order to verify the capabilities of an SHM system in real, complex aviation structures.
