Problem

Extracting damage features precisely from mode shapes while overcoming measurement noise and incomplete data is an unsolved need in structural health monitoring.

Why it matters

Missed structural damage can lead to failures in bridges, buildings and infrastructure, endangering lives and assets.

What the AI did

A deep-learning CNN method with multi-scale modules, stacked residual learning and global average pooling extracts damage features from mode shapes without hand-engineered features or prior knowledge.
