Li, Tianzhi (author), Chen, Jian (author), Yuan, Shenfang (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Sbarufatti, Claudio (author), Cadini, Francesco (author)Fatigue damage prognosis always requires a degradation model describing the damage evolution with time; thus, the prognostic performance highly depends on the selection of such a model. The best model should probably be case specific, calling for the fusion of multiple degradation models for a robust prognosis. In this context, this paper...journal article 2024

Wang, X. (author)In this thesis, fibre optic sensing has been investigated as an important technique for structural health monitoring. Distributed fibre optic sensing based on Rayleigh scattering is a fibre optic sensing technique to achieve the spatially continuous strain monitoring for critical locations for the structures. However, the Rayleigh backscattering...doctoral thesis 2023

Scheeren, B. (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author), Pahlavan, Lotfollah (author)This article presents an approach to identify naturally developed damage in low-speed bearings using waveform-similarity-based clustering of acoustic emissions (AEs) under fatigue loading. The approach is motivated by the notation that each recorded AE signal from a particular damage is defined by the convolution of the source signal, transfer...journal article 2023

Gul, F.C. (author), Moradi, M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), HADJRIA, RAFIK (author), LUGOVTSOVA, YEVGENIYA (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)Under in-plane compressive load conditions, the growth of a delamination initially induced by an impact can be followed by a fast growth after a threshold level, which leads to a catastrophic failure in composite structures. To avoid reaching this critical level, it is essential to uncover the delamination size and growth pattern in real time....conference paper 2023
