Abstract
This paper is a personal perspective of structural health monitoring technology and its applications as see from a current literature and projects. The proposed approach deals with the spectral finite element analysis method as a means of solving the wave propagation problems in structures. The change of the wave propagation process due to a damage appearance is examined by comparing the differences between the responses from damaged and undamaged structures. The influence of the damage growth for the wave propagation is also analysed. The differences in the propagating waves allow indicating the damage location and size in a very precise way.
