On line Implementation of a Structural Health Monitoring Syste

The concept of predictive maintenance, whose application became every day more and more diffused was born some years ago. The fundamental idea on which the predictive maintenance is based on is the monitoring of specific parameters that can supply useful information on the system state of health. In the presented application, vibrational levels represent one of these parameters and relative continuous monitoring is proposed. In the specific FRF functions have been indicated as monitoring functions. The presented application will show an on-line implementaion of the proposed approach, with experimental results related to a laboratory test article whose results have demonstrated the validity of the proposed idea.
