Paper on UAV path planning for autonomous damage inspection got published in MSSP Journal.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based autonomous damage inspection has become a promising technique to replace certain human-performed inspections due to both safety and cost considerations. While current UAV-based damage inspection methods have been successful in minimizing the length of the flying path considering potential defect locations, the impact of flying path Read more…

Paper on feature-level sensor fusion for in-situ quality monitoring for AM got published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a commonly used technique in additive manufacturing to produce metal components with complex geometries and high precision. However, the poor process reproducibility and unstable product reliability has hindered its wide adoption in practice. Hence, there is a pressing demand for in-situ quality monitoring and real-time Read more…

Paper on automated operational modal analysis got published in Engineering Structures Journal.

Automated operational modal analysis is essential for online structural health monitoring without human intervention. It remains a challenging issue due to the need of processing a large number of datasets and the involvement of many user-specified thresholds. This paper proposes a novel automated modal identification approach based on stochastic subspace Read more…

Paper on SHM using a likelihood-free Bayesian method got published in CSHM journal.

Get the paper here. Bayesian inference plays a vital role in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) by assessing structural integrity through probabilistic model updating using monitoring data. A crucial component in Bayesian inference is the evaluation of the likelihood function. For some situations, the likelihood function is not available in closed Read more…
