Abstract
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has emerged as a critical aspect of aerospace engineering, aiming to ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft structures throughout their operational lifespan. In aerospace engineering, structural health monitoring is one of the most important aspects of aerospace engineering. It aims to ensure that aircraft structures are safe and reliable over their entire service life. Polymer-based actuators and sensors have attracted a lot of attention because of their lightweight, flexibility, and low cost. The study will look at the current state of the art, as well as the emerging trends in aerospace SHM with polymer-based actuators. We will look at different types of polymers, fabrication methods, sensing mechanisms and integration strategies. We will also look at the capabilities and limitations of these technologies. In addition, we will also look at how machine learning algorithms can be integrated with data analytics to enable real-time tracking and predictive maintenance of aircraft structures. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the state of the art and future directions in aerospace SHM that will benefit researchers and practitioners.
Keywords: Structural health monitoring, aerospace, polymer-based sensors, polymer-based actuators, emerging trends, machine learning, predictive maintenance.
