note = "Funding Information: A multidisciplinary research initiative (MURI) project, sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), at Arizona State University, focused on the development of SHM and prognosis of metallic aerospace structures. The partner institutions in this effort were Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Southern California. The MURI program was supported by a diverse advisory board which included members from the Air Force, Army, Navy, Los Alamos National Laboratories, and industry. Four of the seven papers in this Special Issue describe research supported by this MURI program, while the other three papers were selected following the review process which included relevance to the general theme of SHM and damage prognosis. Out of the four papers from the MURI program, two are on multiscale modeling to capture fatigue cracks in complex metallic components, one addresses the variability in fatigue crack nucleation due to anisotropy in aluminum and one summarizes the findings and conclusions of the Tri-services Workshop hosted by the Adaptive Intelligent Materials & Systems Center (AIMS) at Arizona State University: Roadmap for Transitioning SHM Technology to Military Platforms, 24–25 February 2010. The workshop was sponsored by AFOSR, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army Research Office (ARO), and the AIMS Center. Topics discussed include Current Capabilities and Needs, Information Handling and Damage Detection, Implementation Issues of Current Research, Performance Validation and Certification, and Cost Benefit Analysis. The remaining three papers are on composites, one addresses impact damage localization in composite wing section, another investigates the use of guided waves to characterize elastic moduli, and the third presents a sensor fusion and optimization approach for aircraft structures.
