Preface

The triboluminescence phenomenon, since its first recorded discovery in 1605, has enjoyed extensive studies targeted at understanding the underlying mechanism, discovery, and synthesis of new materials, their characterization, and applications in civil and aerospace engineering systems. Significant progress has been made in these areas since the last text that was written over 35 years ago. The need to concisely document the significant progress that has been made in this field in the last 35 years necessitated this book. The book expounds on progress made over the last 35 years in the theory, synthesis, and application of triboluminescence for creating smart structures. It presents in detail research into the utilization of the triboluminescent properties of certain crystals as new sensor systems for smart engineering structures. These triboluminescence-based sensor systems have the potential to enable wireless, in situ, real-time and distributed (WIRD) damage, stress, and impact sen
