This paper reports on a novel metamodel for impact detection, localization and
characterization of complex composite structures based on Convolutional Neural Networks …

Fatigue strength is one of the most important properties of composite materials because it
directly relates to their lifespan. Acoustic emission (AE) is a passive structural health …

Low-velocity impact (LVI) events in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) structures are a
major concern as they result in barely visible impact damage which can reduce the strength …

A novel feature extraction method is developed for impact localisation based on Artificial
Neural Networks (ANNs) in sensorized composite structures subjected to environmental and …

This paper proposes a novel method for multi-class classification and uncertainty
quantification of impact events on a flat composite plate with a structural health monitoring …

Structural health monitoring of impact location and severity using Lamb waves has been
proven to be a reliable method under laboratory conditions. However, real-life operational …

A parametric investigation of the effect of impactor stiffness as well as environmental and
operational conditions on impact contact behaviour and the subsequently generated lamb …

This study presents a Probability based Impact Localization (PIL) method for plate structures.
To this aim, an Error Index (EI) is introduced based on the Time of Arrivals (TOAs) of impact …

Impact force refers to a transient phenomenon with a very short-acting time, but a large
impulse. Therefore, the detection of impact vibration is critical for the reliability, stability, and …

Since the internal barely visible damage of aircraft composite structures caused by the
impact is a critical problem, impact monitoring is essential for the integrity and reliability of …
