A Bioinspired Methodology Based on an Artificial Immune System for Damage Detection in Structural Health Monitoring

Table 1

Analogy between the biological immune system and artificial immune system [11].

Biological immune system	Artificial immune system in SHM
Antibodies	A detector of a specific pattern
Antigens	Structural health or damage condition
Matured antibodies	Database or information system for damage detection
Recognition of antigens	Identification of health and damage condition
Process of mutation	Training procedure
Immune memory	Memory cells
