Abstract
A structural health monitoring system coupled to a structural material to be monitored comprises a pulsar coupled to the structural material that is configured to emit acoustic waves, a plurality of acoustic wave sensors coupled to the structural material and to receive acoustic waves generated by the pulsar that have propagated through the structural material, and a command center having at least one processor communicatively coupled to both the pulsar and the plurality of acoustic wave sensors, the command center being configured such as by code executing in the processor to control emissions of acoustic wave by the pulsar, and to receive detection signals produced by the plurality of acoustic wave sensors, the command center further being configured to continuously calibrate the system, including the pulsar and the plurality of acoustic wave sensors so as to reliably and accurately determine structural health of the structural material in real time.
