Loose bolt localization and torque prediction in a bolted joint using lamb waves and explainable artificial intelligence

With the increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM), there is a growing interest in explaining the decision-making of the black-box models in deep learning-based SHM methods. In this work, we take explainability a step further by using it to improve the performance of...

Use of delay and sum for sparse reconstruction improvement for structural health monitoring

To perform active structural health monitoring, guided Lamb waves for damage detection have recently gained extensive attention. Many algorithms are used for damage detection with guided waves and among them, the delay-and-sum method is the most commonly used algorithm because of its robustness and simplicity. However, delay-and-sum images...
