Structural health monitoring (SHM) using sensor networks makes it possible to reduce the manual inspection costs of aircraft. These costs depend both on components and on usage, and increase with aircraft age. As dedicated SHM systems increase aircraft weight and electric power demand, it is of interest to assess firstly, for which specific components monitoring might be […]

Early systems thinkers were still ultimately aiming to improve their ability to better predict and control a system. The introduction of insights from chaos theory and non-linear mathematics into systems science sparked the development of complexity theory. A set of key characteristics such Interconnectedness, unpredictability, and uncontrollability are part of all complex dynamic systems.  The sciences of complexity are a […]
