Abstract
Why do we need structural health monitoring? Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a significant technology that would help avoid failures/accidents and improve the safety of various structures because it continuously monitors a structure's health and can immediately identify critical damage. SHM can also help reduce maintenance costs because it continuously monitors a structure's health and identifies the need for maintenance, thereby enabling the replacement of the schedule type maintenance with condition-based maintenance. Accordingly, research in the SHM field has been continuously increasing in the last years.
