ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Systems and methods for assessing the effect of at least one of a plurality of forces acting upon a structure are provided herein. Structural moment detectors, combined with external signal and data- processing components or structural information detectors which are unitary devices which include the signal and data-processing functions, are employed as an integral component of these systems. These systems include basic measurement systems, structural integrity measurement systems, applied structural measurement systems, applied load measurement systems, applied communication-detection systems and additional miscellaneous sys- tems. One form of a structural information detector comprises a self- contained, unitary device for collecting and interpreting data reflecting the effect of a force acting on a structure including a housing adapted to be attached at spaced points to the surface of the structure, an optical sensor within the housing for detecting the relative orientation of spaced surface coordinate vectors of the structure, circuitry within the housing for converting signals from the optical sensor to a form usable by signal- processing electronics also located within the housing. The output of this structural information detector embodies useful information which directly indicates the effect of the force acting on the structure.
