The detection and the evaluation of defects is a process used to estimate the lifetime of the materials and structures. The concept of Structural Health Monitoring - SHM concerns the diagnosis of the health state of the constituent materials of a structure. This state can be altered in time by some factors such as: the wear of the structure due to material fatigue, the action of the environmental parameters or/and the occurrence of accidental events. Based on these considerations, the doctoral thesis entitled “STUDIES AND RESEARCHES REGARDING DAMAGE DETECTION IN STRUCTURES” proposes to develop an original study, with the potential in the creation of an optimum system for the detection of defects in composite materials since the initial phase. The work is based on a coupling between theoretical and experimental approaches. In order to develop a multi-criteria analysis to identify the optimal method of detecting defects the experiments analysis were carried out using three different methods.
