The PhD thesis subject is about the fields of intelligent product concept and smart materials. An intelligent product can be defined as a dual physical and virtual product with computational and communication abilities, perception and control capabilities. The product is capable of participating or making relevant decisions throughout its lifecycle.
In this context, the monitoring by the product of its status or its immediate environment plays here a significant role in the development of intelligent products. This concept, named Product Health Monitoring, should be compared with current Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) or Prognostics Health Monitoring (PHM) systems.
Advances in wireless nano sensor networks allow envisaging their integration into many products and systems. The first objective of this thesis is to study deployment of such networks within the product in order to confer it intelligence functions. The second step will be to develop a Product Health Monitoring system (based on selfabilities) allowing the product to perform itself continuous health monitoring (status, properties …), during its physical transformations.
