On topological data analysis for SHM; an introduction to persistent homology

no code implementations12 Sep 2022 Tristan Gowdridge, Nikolaos Devilis, Keith Worden

The main tool within topological data analysis is persistent homology; this is a means of measuring the shape of data, from the homology of a simplicial complex, calculated over a range of values.

Mitigating sampling bias in risk-based active learning via an EM algorithm

no code implementations25 Jun 2022 Aidan J. Hughes, Lawrence A. Bull, Paul Gardner, Nikolaos Dervilis, Keith Worden

For SHM applications, the value of information is evaluated with respect to a maintenance decision process, and the data-label querying corresponds to the inspection of a structure to determine its health state.

A Bayesian Approach for Shaft Centre Localisation in Journal Bearings

no code implementations22 Mar 2022 Christopher A. Lindley, Scott Beamish, Rob Dwyer-Joyce, Nikolaos Dervilis, Keith Worden

It has been shown that ultrasonic techniques work well for online measuring of circumferential oil film thickness profile in journal bearings; unfortunately, they can be limited by their measuring range and unable to capture details of the film all around the bearing circumference.
