Introduction:

Advance sensor technologies have created a paradigm shift in efficient operation of almost all sectors of the societies. Starting from health to domestic to industrial sector the intervention and dependence on smart sensors has increased manifold times. Development of smart sensors and its associated instrumentation has experienced a huge leap in last few years. Sensors not only improved performance of the new technologies but have also help to assess the efficiency of many existing technologies. Structural health monitoring of any manufacturing process is one such example of it. We are in an era where people are surrounded by sensors. The advancement in sensor technologies has open an era of interdisciplinary science, were all stream hold equal importance in the development of any sensor technology.
