Patent abstract

Methods of manufacturing a diagnostic layer containing an array of sensing elements. The sensing elements, associated wires, and any accompanying circuit elements, are incorporated various layers of a thin, flexible substrate. This substrate can then be affixed to a structure so that the array of sensing elements can analyze the structure in accordance with structural health monitoring techniques. The substrate can also be designed to be incorporated into the body of the structure itself, such as in the case of composite structures.
