Abstract

We describe a stochastic ltering approach for tracking progressive fatigue damage in structures, wherein physically based damage evolution information is combined with active sensing guided wave measurements. The input waveform used to excite dispersive modes within the structure is adaptively con gured at each time step in order to maximize the damage estimation performance. The damage evolution model is based on Paris Law, and hidden Markov modeling of time-frequency features obtained from received signals is used to de ne the measurement model. Damage state estimation is performed using a particle lter. Results are presented for fatigue crack estimation in an aluminum specimen.
