Damage Detection in Materials: Ensuring Structural Integrity

Why is Damage Detection Important?

Material damage can lead to structural failures. Advanced techniques such as non-destructive testing help identify issues before they become critical.

Common Damage Detection Methods

• Visual inspection
• Ultrasonic testing
• UV light inspection

Emerging Technologies in Damage Detection

• Mechanoluminochromic polymers for real-time monitoring.
• Advancements in smart coatings.
• Integration with early warning systems.
