Monitoring tag device systems and methods

Abstract

Efficient and effective internal material property monitoring systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a method for monitoring variations in an internal material property of an object comprises sensing variations in a characteristic over time and communicating information on the variations in the characteristic from within the object to a remote component, wherein the communication is wireless. The characteristic is related to an internal material property of an object and the variations are sensed from within the object. The characteristic can be related to a parameter associated with the material property. The characteristic can be one of a plurality of characteristics sensed, and the sensed variations are associated with a plurality of various material characteristics of a material in the object (e.g., material properties related to a composite material, etc.). A plurality of data points can be collected and the plurality of data points correspond to the sensing of the characteristic. In one embodiment, an analysis of the information is performed and a visualization is presented of the characteristic being sensed over time. The variations can be mapped to physical propertied of a material in the object.
