Course Description
The course focuses on defining concepts and operational principles of various sensing technologies and their applications for assessing the conditions of aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering systems and materials. Analytical and experimental background of commonly used wire-based and wireless transducers, their data acquisition protocols, and signal processing techniques in time and frequency domains are discussed. A strong emphasis is provided to non-contact and optical techniques, including mono/stereo computer-vision and thermal infrared for nondestructive evaluation and subsurface inspection. The concepts discussed in the lectures are analyzed in deep and applied through practical projects, demonstrations, and hands-on experiments on laboratory scale structures.
