Abstract

Awareness of the health status of an engineering system holds significant importance across multiple industries, such as aerospace, marine, and energy. This awareness can take two primary forms—either detailed or comprehensive—each carrying its own distinct benefits. However, when it comes to pivotal decisions concerning the prediction of remaining useful life (RUL), the initiation of shutdown procedures, and the identification of maintenance requirements, the need for a comprehensive health indicator (HI) becomes essential. Such a HI serves as a vital metric for predicting RUL, facilitating maintenance decisions, and refining structural designs. Composite structures play a pivotal role...
