The use of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a key to achieving technological leaps in the design and operation of engineering structures. Composite materials incorporating SHM systems enable the design and manufacture of tailored smart structures. This paper focuses on their application to aircraft as a means of highlighting the issues that face SHM in composite structures, including those in the maritime, oil and gas, civil infrastructure and other industries. Incorporation of SHM has the potential to reduce through-life costs by the adoption of Condition Based Maintenance and to reduce operating costs by the design of more structurally efficient aircraft. The paper addresses issues involved in the design, certification, manufacture and through life support of such structures. Critical areas of development have been identified to enable the implementation of SHM in future composite aircraft structures.
