Summary

Both human bodies and engineering structures must receive regular and proper care through ongoing health monitoring, periodic condition assessments and predictions of likely future health conditions (shown in Figure 15.1) (Paik 2020). Refined and sophisticated technologies are used to minimise errors in human judgement during these processes, although simple and rapidly effective tools remain useful.
