摘要

This paper presents outline of our structure health monitoring (SHM) project inJapan. We are developing four (4) SHM systems for composite structures of aircraft.This project is conducted by MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.), KHI(Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.), FHI (Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd.), MELCO(Mitsubishi Electric Corporation), Yokogawa (Yokogawa Electric Corporation),JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and University of Tokyo. SOKEIZAICenter (former known as RIMCOF - Research Center of Advanced Metals andComposites) is managing them under METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade andIndustry of Japan) contract. METI has founded this project. This paper also,describes JASTAC (Japan-Airbus SHM Technology for Aircraft Composite)project.
