Methods and systems are disclosed for determining an amount of bond
between a structure and sensor. A method may include performing a process
associated with a sensor bonded to a structure and generating measured
data in response to the process. The method may further include comparing
the measured data to known reference data to determine integrity of a
bond between the sensor and the structure. A system may include a sensor
system including at least one sensor bonded to a structure. The system
may further include a sensing system configured to initiate an
application of one or more stimuli to the at least one sensor and monitor
a property associated with the at least one sensor. The sensing system
may further be configured to determine an amount of bond between the at
least one sensor and the structure based on the monitored property.
Structures having one or more sensors bonded thereto and an associated
sensing system for determining bond integrity between the one or more
sensors and the structure are also disclosed.
