Applications

Acellent’s Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology can be deployed in many different ways to solve a nearly endless number of problems. Over the years, we have developed a variety of SHM system implementations targeted at specific industries addressing the issues that they most commonly experience. Below, we list a few examples of common applications for SHM, especially those where we have a ready-made solution. If you don't see the asset or application that you are interested in listed here, please contact us to discuss how SHM can help you, too.

Selected Applications

Localized Monitoring

Monitor "hot spots" within a structure that are known to be particularly prone to damage, such as critical components and/or small, local areas of specific interest.

Composite Damage Detection

Detect and quantify damages in composite structures, such as delaminations and disbonds, that may arise due to impacts, loading, and/or other conditions.

Learn more

Fatigue Crack Detection

Detect and quantify fatigue cracks in metal structures, especially in areas that bear a high concentration of stress due to loading, harsh environments, and other conditions.

Learn more

Corrosion Monitoring

Detect and quantify corrosion of metal structures, especially corrosion-induced loss of wall thickness in pipelines and other infrastructure.

State Sensing

Monitor multiple properties and/or states of a structure simultaneously, such as temperature, strain, impacts, and damage (also known as multi-modal sensing).
