Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies have acquired a significant relevance during the last two decades, and it is referred as one of the key issues in long-term R&D aeronautic plans.

Significant theoretical and practical improvements have be en attained, but how to apply these technologies to existing or new projects is still unclear for many engineers and industry decision-makers.

Some reasons for this delay among existing knowledge and its industrial applications are:

• The multidisciplinary aspect of the technology;
• The lack of basic teaching materials;
• Lack of hands-on experience;
• Few demonstrations on real structures.
