A typical example of this technology is to arrange sensors on bridges or airplanes to provide real-time monitoring information for different structural changes, such as stress or strain. In the civil engineering industry, the data obtained by sensors are usually transmitted to a remote data acquisition center. With the help of modern technology, real-time structural control (active structural control) based on the information obtained by sensors becomes possible.
