Vibration Parameters for Impact Detection of Composite Panel: A Neural Network Based Approach

The need for reliable methodologies structural monitoring is certainly a current line of research in many engineering sectors. detection the impact on composite materials fact recent subject study, aimed at safeguarding mechanical integrity and improving useful life components. In such context, work deals with evaluation use neural algorithms localizing position impacts structures. Starting from FE (finite element) simulations, representative dynamic response CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) panel as benchmark, approach has been finally validated experimentally by modal parameters identification.
