Work is currently in progress to develop an advanced structural integrity monitoring system to increase safety of aging aircraft. This system is based on the concept of smart structures which integrates sensory systems into the structure, analogous to a central nervous system. Structural abnormalities are determined by continuously monitoring the vibration signature using a network of active sensor modules. Pattern recognition techniques are used to analyze the vibration signatures and identify structural damage in real-time. Conventional minimum distance algorithms as well as neural networks have provided high recognition rates in classification of corrosion damage and wing leading edge ice accretion.
