Structural health diagnosis and prognosis is the goal of structural health monitoring. Vibration-based structural health monitoring methodology has been extensively investigated. However, the conventional vibration–based methods find it difficult to detect damages of actual structures because of a high incompleteness in the monitoring information (the number of sensors is much fewer with respect to the number of degrees of freedom of a structure), intense uncertainties in the structural conditions and monitoring systems, and coupled effects of damage and environmental actions on modal parameters. It is a truth that the performance and conditions of a structure must be embedded in the monitoring data (vehicles, wind, etc.; acceleration, displacement, cable force, strain, images, videos, etc.). Therefore, there is a need to develop completely novel structural health diagnosis and prognosis methodology based on the various monitoring data. Machine learning provides the advanced mathematical frameworks and algorithms that can help discover and model the performance and conditions of a structure through deep mining of monitoring data. Thus, machine learning takes an opportunity to establish novel machine learning paradigm for structural health diagnosis and prognosis theory termed the machine learning paradigm for structural health monitoring. This article sheds light on principles for machine learning paradigm for structural health monitoring with some examples and reviews the existing challenges and open questions in this field.

In the last two decades, a significant number of innovative sensing systems based on optical fiber sensors have been exploited in the engineering community due to their inherent distinctive advantages such as small size, light weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and corrosion, and embedding capability. A lot of optical fiber sensor-based monitoring systems have been developed for continuous measurement and real-time assessment of diversified engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, tunnels, pipelines, wind turbines, railway infrastructure, and geotechnical structures. The purpose of this review article is devoted to presenting a summary of the basic principles of various optical fiber sensors, innovation in sensing and computational methodologies, development of novel optical fiber sensors, and the practical application status of the optical fiber sensing technology in structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure.

Laser Doppler vibrometry is an important sensing technology for many structural health monitoring (SHM) methods, such as modal analysis. However, when it comes to large civil structures, for example historic structures and bridges, the applicability of laser Doppler vibrometry is significantly constrained by inaccessible remote surfaces. Some of these surfaces are fully inaccessible to a ground-mounted laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), while others are partially inaccessible, and measurements are only possible for low incident angles. Consequently, LDV measurements are either impossible or have a weak signal strength. In this study, the concept of constructing an airborne LDV for SHM is explored, including the examination of a recently developed mechanism, the partially airborne LDV, comprising a reflective mirror attached to a drone. Preliminary proof of concept laboratory tests have been successfully conducted using two different set-ups and drone models.
