“…Subsequently, many experimental efforts employing the EMI method for SHM have been executed in various engineering fields (An et al, 2012; Baptista et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2016), including civil, medical, mechanical, and aerospace. The EMI technique has been used in various structures in monitoring damage (Lee et al, 2014; Park et al, 2001), crack (Park et al, 2006, 2010; Wang et al, 2017), hydration (Chung and Kharkovsky, 2014; Kong et al, 2013; Yang et al, 2010), corrosion (Talakokula et al, 2014), fatigue (Annamdas et al, 2014; Giurgiutiu et al, 2006), and joints (Ritdumrongkul et al, 2004), both in laboratory and preliminary practical applications. To overcome the requirement of expensive equipment, several researchers have concentrated on lowering the required cost for conducting the EMI technique (Peairs et al, 2004).…”
