Structure Monitoring

The DCAM syllabus as in the AN1101 includes the topic on Structure monitoring (damage tolerance monitoring) under ATA 45, in the following modules:

1. Module 11A - Fixed Wing/ Turbine    Level 2
2. Module 12 - Rotary Wing  . Level 2
3. Module 13 - Avionics  -  Level 3


One of the issues involved are the reference documents, as the subject is relatively new, thus reference books are not readily available.

I had divided the topic of structuring monitoring into three (3) sub topics:
- Structural Health Monitoring
- Aircraft Integrated Maintenance System
- Health and Usage Monitoring

A quick google search reveals some results:

A. Structural Health Monitoring
a. Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_health_monitoring 
b. Structural health monitoring - ‎Balageas - Cited by 40
c. Powerpoint on Life Management of Aircraft


Note:
1. B777 - no mention of structural maintenance in the MM ATA45.
