1. A system for managing structural health, based on combined physical and simulated integrity data, of a critical structure (2) comprising:

  • a. a physical module (100) placed in said structure (2), which comprises a sensor network (1, 3, 4) mounted or embedded in said structure (2), a hardware platform (6) comprising a data acquisition (7) and sampling and signal processing (8) sub-modules with multi-sensor capability, and an interface (5) to the hardware platform (6);

    b. a virtual module (101), which comprises a simulated representative virtual model (24) of the structure (2) combined with a suitable solver (15) able to reproduce the behaviour of the structure (2), and its components, based on the physical information gathered from the physical module (100);

    wherein said simulated model (24) was previously established when defining the optimal locations of said sensors.
