Since the dawn of humanity, nature has been a source of inspiration for developing engineering systems, referred to as “nature-inspired systems”. With respect to smart structures instrumented with smart structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, nature-inspired systems may provide promising advancements, for example, by executing self-healing or self-diagnosing processes. However, for developing optimum strategies towards deploying nature-inspired systems to smart structures, the plenitude of nature-inspired systems in SHM need to be classified. This paper aims at reviewing the potential of nature-inspired systems to advance the performance of smart structures. Upon a brief introduction to smart structures and nature-inspired systems, a state-of-the-art review of nature-inspired systems that exhibit potential to advance smart structures is presented, providing decision support on how to advantageously apply the benefits of nature-inspired systems to smart structures.
