Composite materials are widely used in aerospace field due to the characteristics of light
weight and high strength. As the composites are prone to internal damage that is not visible …

Impact force is the load that actual structures often experience, and its localisation and time-
history reconstruction are important for structural health and safety monitoring. However …

A similarity searching technique is adopted to identify the impact force applied on a
rectangular carbon fibre-epoxy honeycomb composite panel. The purpose of this study is to …

The impact between the flared bow and the wave will cause a serious bow-flared slamming
load. Many investigations have been carried out to predict the slamming load that the hull …

In this paper, both location and energy of impacts on an anisotropic carbon fiber reinforced
plate (CFRP) are detected with the help of deep learning. We introduce sparse low-cost …

Detecting and identifying impact events, which may cause severe damages, is important in
assessment of the integrity of many engineering structures. This paper presents a new …

This study presents a novel strategy for identifying an impact event on a structure from
vibration measurements. Compared to triangulation techniques that require at least three …

The localisation and reconstruction of impact loads are the most basic issues in structural
health monitoring. Further, when identifying random unknown impact loads, obtaining the …

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 …

Physics-driven and data-driven methods are commonly used for impact force identification.
Due to system identification errors, physics-driven methods often suffer from force …
