In this paper, the considerations for sensor system selection for prognostics and health monitoring implementation are discussed and some state-of-the-art sensor systems for prognostics are described. Finally, emerging trends in sensor system technologies are presented. </p> <p><a href="../../fulltext/2008/08_Cheng_sensorSystemSelection_IDETCCIE.pdf">Complete article</a> is available to CALCE PHM Consortium Members.</p> <hr><br> <center> [<a href="http://www.calce.umd.edu">Home Page</a>] [<a href="../../">Articles Page</a>] </center> <center><font size="-1">Copyright ýÿ 2008 by CALCE and the University of Maryland, All Rights Reserved </font></center> </body></html>
