Due to the increasing complexity and cost of Engineering Structures, and consequently the growth of operating costs for maintaining the operational reliability of these structures, new approaches to monitoring their technical condition directly without decommissioning are required. Previously conducted studies have shown that the most effective method of such monitoring is non-destructive testing based on acoustic emission. This article presents the basic principles of organizing such monitoring during operation based on the “Technical Health Condition” (THC), “Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), Condition-based Monitoring (CBM)) or “Fail Safe Concept (FSC)”
