It is desirable for any structural health monitoring (SHM) system to achieve maximum sensitivity with minimum sensor density. This may be accomplished using guided waves. The structural health monitoring system described herein is based on the excitation and reception of guided waves using piezoelectric elements as sensors. One of the main challenges faced is that in all but the most simple structures the wave interactions become too complex for the time domain signals to be interpreted directly.
