Damage prognosis is, arguably, one of the most difficult tasks of structural health monitoring (SHM). To address common problems of damage prognosis, a population-based SHM (PBSHM) approach is adopted in the current work. In this approach…
Population-based structural health monitoring (PBSHM), seeks to address some of the limitations associated with data scarcity that arise in traditional SHM. A tenet of the population-based approach to SHM is that information can be shared…
Structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies involve the processing of structural response data to indirectly assess an asset's condition. These strategies can be enhanced for a group of structures, especially when they are similar, since…
Population-Based Structural Health Monitoring (PBSHM), aims to leverage information across populations of structures in order to enhance diagnostics on those with sparse data. The discipline of transfer learning provides the mechanism for…
Population-based Structural Health Monitoring (PBSHM) aims to share information between similar machines or structures. This paper takes a population-level perspective, exploring the use of additive Gaussian processes to reveal variations…
Obtaining the ability to make informed decisions regarding the operation and maintenance of structures, provides a major incentive for the implementation of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is…
Population-based structural health monitoring (PBSHM), aims to share information between members of a population. An offshore wind (OW) farm could be considered as a population of nominally-identical wind-turbine structures. However, benign…
A major problem of structural health monitoring (SHM) has been the prognosis of damage and the definition of the remaining useful life of a structure. Both tasks depend on many parameters, many of which are often uncertain. Many models have…
Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been an active research area for the last three decades, and has accumulated a number of critical advances over that period, as can be seen in the literature. However, SHM is still facing challenges…
In data-driven SHM, the signals recorded from systems in operation can be noisy and incomplete. Data corresponding to each of the operational, environmental, and damage states are rarely available a priori; furthermore, labelling to…
Decision-support for the operation and maintenance of structures provides significant motivation for the development and implementation of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Unfortunately, the limited availability of labelled…

To maximize its value, the design, development and implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) should focus on its role in facilitating decision support. In this position paper, we offer perspectives on the synergy between SHM and…
Software systems are complex, and behavioral comprehension with the increasing amount of AI components challenges traditional testing and maintenance strategies.The lack of tools and methodologies for behavioral software comprehension…
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) describes a process for inferring quantifiable metrics of structural condition, which can serve as input to support decisions on the operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets. Given the long…
An important challenge faced by wind farm operators is to reduce operation and maintenance cost. Structural health monitoring provides a means of cost reduction through minimising unnecessary maintenance trips as well as prolonging turbine…
A major problem of machine-learning approaches in structural dynamics is the frequent lack of structural data. Inspired by the recently-emerging field of population-based structural health monitoring (PBSHM), and the use of transfer…
For situations that may benefit from information sharing among datasets, e.g., population-based SHM of similar structures, the hierarchical Bayesian approach provides a useful modelling structure. Hierarchical Bayesian models learn…
Data used for training structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are expensive and often impractical to obtain, particularly labelled data. Population-based SHM presents a potential solution to this issue by considering the available data…
Quantifying the value of the information extracted from a structural health monitoring (SHM) system is an important step towards convincing decision makers to implement these systems. We quantify this value by adaptation of the Bayesian…
