Abstrait:

Structural health monitoring is widely applied in industrial sectors as it reduces costs associated with maintenance intervals and manual inspections of damage in sensitive structures, while enhancing their operation safety. A major concern and current challenge in developing “robust” structural health monitoring systems, however, is the impact of uncertainty in the input training parameters on the accuracy and reliability of predictions. The aim of this article is to adapt an advanced statistical pattern recognition technique capable of considering variations in input parameters and arriving at a new structural health monitoring system more immune to the effect of uncertainty. Gaussian processes have been implemented to predict the state of damage in a typical composite airfoil structure. Different covariance functions were evaluated during the training stage of structural health monitoring. Results through a case study showed a remarkable capability of the Gaussian process–based approach to deal with uncertainty in the pattern recognition problem in structural health monitoring of a multi-layer composite airfoil structure. To illustrate robustness advantage of the approach as compared to conventional neural network models, the damage size and location prediction accuracy of the Gaussian process structural health monitoring has been compared to multi-layer perceptron neural networks. Some practical insights and limitations of the approach have also been outlined.
