Detecting degradation that endangers the safety and impairs availability of infrastructure and components is currently the task of schedule-driven Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), this process is however costly and disruptive. The attractive alternative is to use condition based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Current, SHM typically uses sensors that provide local information only, which may be insufficient for detecting interior degradation or require very dense networks. Furthermore, the performance of both in-situ sensing systems and algorithms to process and interpret the sensor data is reduced when subject to Environmental and Operational Conditions (EOC). This limits their large-scale deployment. USES2 will develop and combine novel emerging sensing technologies (optical fibre and wireless pieozoelectric sensors), advanced processing (compressed sensing, artificial intelligence) and full-mechanical-waveform-based imaging to tackle these issues. Key to this cross-disciplinary work is a new generation of researchers with skills across sensing and signal processing. They will be trained with a unique combination of "hands-on" multidisciplinary research demonstrators, industrial placements, and courses /workshops on scientific and transferable skills. All of which is facilitated by the broad intersectoral composition of the consortium. USES2 will produce world class researchers expert in innovative sensing solutions, advanced mechanical wave processing and robust EOC compensation methods. Their skills will be embodied in a series of laboratory demonstrators and in situ industrially relevant experiments spanning three key sectors of European industry: energy [power plants (nuclear, wind), hydrogen storage, pipeline networks for fuel exploration and transport], mobility for citizens (aircraft, automotive industry) and construction (urban subsurface soil, infrastructures).

目前，发现基础架构和组件的可用性危害安全性和损害的降级是目前由计划驱动的非破坏性评估（NDE）的任务，但是此过程是昂贵且颠覆性的。有吸引力的替代方法是使用基于条件的结构健康监测（SHM）。当前的SHM通常使用仅提供本地信息的传感器，这可能不足以检测内部降解或需要非常密集的网络。此外，在受环境和操作条件（EOC）约束时，降低了原位感应系统和算法来处理和解释传感器数据的性能。这限制了他们的大规模部署。 use2将开发和结合新颖的新兴传感技术（光纤和无线pieozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoozoogeelectric传感器），高级处理（压缩传感，人工智能）和基于全机械波形的成像，以解决这些问题。这项跨学科工作的关键是新一代的研究人员，具有跨传感和信号处理的技能。他们将通过“动手”多学科研究示威者，工业安排以及有关科学和可转移技能的课程 /讲习班的独特组合进行培训。所有这些都由财团的广泛部门组成促进。 USE2将在创新传感解决方案，先进的机械波处理和强大的EOC补偿方法中生产世界一流的研究人员专家。他们的技能将体现在一系列实验室示威者中，以及跨越欧洲工业的三个关键领域的现场工业相关实验：能源[发电厂（核电，风），氢存储，用于燃料勘探和运输的管道网络，公民的移动性，公民（飞机，自动化行业）和建筑（Urban Sublfuce Suberfuce土壤，基础架）。
