Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS)

The Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS) is SEI’s airborne solution for tracking structural performance as part of its Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). 

With a compact, lightweight design and low power requirements, SHMS includes a Data Acquisition and Processing Unit (DAPU), Data Storage Unit (DSU), and optional Control/Display Unit (CDU), offering a versatile, high-performance platform for capturing, storing, and viewing critical structural data in flight.

Description

Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS)

SHMS is the airborne portion of SEI’s Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). It consists of a Data Acquisition and Processing Unit (DAPU), a Data Storage Unit (DSU), and an optional Control/Display Unit (CDU). 

The DAPU has analog, discrete, and strain gauge inputs, discrete outputs, as well as RS-422 and ARINC 429 data buses. 

The DSU has 128 Mb of non-volatile memory, expandable to 256 Mb. 

The CDU has 16 keys and a 2-line, 16-character display, dimmable along with aircraft instruments. The SHMS's low power consumption, light weight, and small size allow for easy aircraft installation.


Built to RTCA/DO-160D
