Using Data

Abstract Composite materials have enormous applications in various fields. Thus, it is important to have an efficient damage detection method to avoid catastrophic failures. Due to the existence of multiple damage modes and the availability of data in different formats, it is important to employ efficient techniques to consider all the types of damage. Deep neural networks were seen to exhibit the ability to address similar complex problems. The research question in this work is ‘Can data fusion improve damage classification using the convolutional neural network?’ The specific aims developed were to 1) assess the performance of image encoding algorithms, 2) classify the damage using data from separate experimental coupons, and 3) classify the damage using mixed data from multiple experimental coupons. Two different experimental measurements were taken from NASA Ames Prognostic Repository for Carbon Fiber Reinforced polymer. To use data fusion, the piezoelectric signals were converted into images using Gramian Angular Field (GAF) and Markov Transition Field. Using data fusion techniques, the input dataset was created for a convolutional neural network with three hidden layers to determine the damage states. The accuracies of all the image encoding algorithms were compared. The analysis showed that data fusion provided better results as it contained more information on the damages modes that occur in composite materials. Additionally, GAF was shown to perform the best. Thus, the combination of data fusion and deep neural network techniques provides an efficient method for damage detection of composite materials.

Fusion Approach

There is continuing research in the area of structural health monitoring (SHM) as it may allow a reduction in maintenance costs as well as lifetime extension. The search for a low-cost health monitoring system that is able to detect small levels of damage is still on-going. The present study is one more step in this direction. This paper describes a data fusion technique by combining the information for robust damage detection using the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method. The EMI method is commonly used for damage detection due to its sensitivity to low levels of damage. In this paper, the information of resistance (R) and conductance (G) is studied in a selected frequency band and a novel data fusion approach is proposed. A novel fused parameter (F) is developed by combining the information from G and R. The difference in the new metric under different damage conditions is then quantified using established indices such as the root mean square deviation (RMSD) index, mean absolute percentage deviation (MAPD), and root mean square deviation using k-th state as the reference (RMSDk). The paper presents an application of the new metric for detection of damage in three structures, namely, a thin aluminum (Al) plate with increasing damage severity (simulated with a drilled hole of increasing size), a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite beam with increasing delamination and another GFRP plate with impact-induced damage scenarios. Based on the experimental results, it is apparent that the variable F increases the robustness of the damage detection as compared to the quantities R and G.

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Aiming at the reliability optimization algorithm based on wireless sensor network, a data fusion algorithm based on extreme learning machine for wireless sensor network was proposed according to the temporal spatial correlation in data collection process. After analyzing the principles, design ideas and implementation steps of extreme learning machine algorithm, the performance and results were compared with traditional BP algorithm, LEACH algorithm and RBF algorithm in simulation environment. The simulation results showed that the data fusion optimization algorithm based on the limit learning machine for wireless sensor network was reliable. It improved the efficiency of fusion and the comprehensive reliability of the network. Thus, it can prolong the life cycle and reduce the total energy consumption of the network.</span></p>
