The purpose of this paper is to present an embedded MEMs fluid sensing embedded detection system that incorporates new nondestructive inspection (NDI) sensors for the advancement of diagnostics, prognostics, and health management of complex aircraft system and hardware. With the advent of MEMS NDI sensors, it is now possible to embed these sensors for detection of fuel leaks, moisture intrusion, hydraulic fluid leaks and pressure loss across all aircraft environments. This new NDI embedded detection technology can be used to validate and improve (SHM) Structural Health Management, and integrates concepts and hardware from MEMS and nano-optical technology with spectrometers and microfluidic and wireless capabilities. This paper highlights nano-inspection MEMS Device (NIMD) concepts and their application to SHM system development. 1 2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
