Abstract
This paper provides an overview of ongoing laser ultrasonics based structural health monitoring (SHM) activities being performed by the author. Particular focus is given to (1) the development of a fully noncontact laser ultrasonic system that can easily visualize defects with high spatial resolution, (2) laser based wireless power and data transmission schemes for remote guided waves and impedance measurements, (3) minimization of false alarms due to varying operational and environmental conditions, and (4) extension to embedded laser ultrasonic excitation and sensing. SHM examples ranging from bridges to airplanes, as well as nuclear power plants, high-speed rails and wind turbines are also presented.
