New Sensors for SHM

In her article entitled "New generation of sensors poised to revolutionize predictive maintenance", Sheila Kennedy at PlantServices.com explores some new technologies for SHM.

"New software and emerging technologies are simplifying condition
monitoring and streamlining the process of predictive maintenance.
Success in a predictive maintenance program might be constrained if the technician must
rely on indirect or imprecise measurements, if the batteries in measuring
equipment fail, or if data communications are limited. Gradually such
constraints are being overcome. New software and emerging technologies are
simplifying condition monitoring and streamlining the process of predictive
maintenance."

The article describes new technologies from Purdue and Clarkson universities.
