Damage Prognosis: For Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Systems

Damage Prognosis is the prediction in near real time of the remaining useful life of an engineered system given the measurement and assessment of its current damaged (or aged) state and accompanying predicted performance in anticipated future loading environments.
Damage Prognosis – For Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Systems brings together fundamental information and extensive references in each of the component technologies necessary to perform damage prognosis such as predictive modelling, sensing and data acquisition hardware, and data interrogation procedures.
Written by a global team of experts representing academia, industry and government laboratories, this book:Presents a series of fundamental topics that define the new area of Damage Prognosis.Deals with interdisciplinary topics such as rotating machines, aerospace structures, automotive components and civil structures.
Damage Prognosis – For Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Systems is the first book to address this multi–disciplinary technology in a comprehensive manner. The potential for Damage Prognosis to enhance life safety and provide economic benefits to society will make it the focus of extensive research over the next decade. As such, this book is an invaluable resource for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers who wish to work in damage prognosis. In addition it serves as an excellent research tool for academic and corporate researchers and lecturers and graduates in related fields. Research libraries and government lab libraries will also find this book a useful asset.
