Abstract
Certain embodiments may generally relate to structural damage detection. An embodiment may be directed to method for identifying a presence and a location of structural damage. Such method may include training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for a joint of a structure, sending instructions to a modal shaker to induce an input to the structure, receiving, as a result of the induced input, a raw acceleration signal at the joint, computing, based on the trained CNN and the raw acceleration signal, an index value of the joint, and identifying, according to the index value, a presence of a location of structural damage of the structure. In a further embodiment, the index value represents a likelihood of damage at the joint.
