Hatrack I read this to remind me why I bought even when I don't know the un known with this technology.

Recent advances in health monitoring methods have produced viable SHM systems for on-board aircraft inspections • CVM sensor detects cracks - diagnosis is fully automated & remote • Sensors must be low-profile, easily mountable, durable, reliable & fail-safe • Calibration for flaw identification (damage signatures) is key • Reliability/POD assessments depends on sensor system, flaw type/orientation and application • Ease of use allows for more frequent inspections – minimize repair costs • SHM can decrease maintenance costs (NDI man-hours; disassembly) & allow for condition-based maintenance • Application-oriented studies have led to approval for routine use & spawned larger, families of SHM applications • AMOC for SBs and ADs or STCs – safety driven use is achieved in concert with OEMS & regulatory agencies; approval through regulatory framework established with Sandia-FAA-Delta-Boeing program
