Paper Abstract
Results achieved with the developed health and load monitoring schemes based on high resolution temporally
resolved observation of the transport properties of guided ultrasonic waves are presented and discussed. The
methods are illustrated and results covering monitoring of ablation and delamination, time resolved load
detection, and monitoring of impact positions with axial resolution are presented. The detection schemes have
been primarily developed for integral monitoring of the presence and occurrence of damages including
scaling of damages respectively determination of the occurrence of overloading and impact. Sensitivities and
methods suitable for damage scaling are presented and discussed. The developed schemes are as well suitable
for on-ground as for in-flight monitoring, with the exception that the impact position detection requires
continuous operation at least in a stand by mode. Concerning the rather compact size and moderate power
consumption the developed instrumentation is already suitable for in-flight respectively on-ground hand hold
and battery powered operation. The achievements and results are presented, explained, and discussed.
