Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a learning algorithm for single-hidden layer feedforward neural network dedicated to an extremely fast learning. However, the performance of ELM in structural impact localization is unknown yet. In this paper, a comparison study of ELM with least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is presented for the application on impact localization of a plate structure with surface-mounted piezoelectric sensors. Both basic and kernel-based ELM regression models have been developed for the location prediction. Comparative studies of the basic ELM, kernel-based ELM, and LSSVM models are carried out. Results show that the kernel-based ELM requires the shortest learning time and it is capable of producing suboptimal localization accuracy among the three models. Hence, ELM paves a promising way in structural impact detection.

This article presents a technique for detecting structural impact and damage by integrating passive and active-sensing approaches. An L-shaped piezoelectric sensor array was used to detect and localize impacts by measuring the response of structures. It was found that since this method does not require prior knowledge of structures such as the direction-dependent wave velocity profiles, accurate results could be achieved even on anisotropic structures. This sensor array was then extended to include an active-sensing approach, and the same sensor array was used for damage detection by measuring scattering and reflected waves. A series of experiments was carried out to demonstrate the proposed techniques. The superior capability of the proposed techniques was experimentally demonstrated.

Multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm-based structural health monitoring technology is a promising method because of its directional scanning ability and easy arrangement of the sensor array. However, in previous MUSIC-based impact location methods, the narrowband signals at a particular central frequency had to be extracted from the wideband Lamb waves induced by each impact using a wavelet transform. Additionally, the specific center frequency had to be obtained after carefully analyzing the impact signal, which is time consuming. Aiming at solving this problem, this paper presents an improved approach that combines the optimized ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and two-dimensional multiple signal classification (2D-MUSIC) algorithm for real-time impact localization on composite structures. Firstly, the impact signal at an unknown position is obtained using a unified linear sensor array. Secondly, the fast Hilbert Huang transform (HHT) with an optimized EEMD algorithm is introduced to extract intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from impact signals. Then, all IMFs in the whole frequency domain are directly used as the input vector of the 2D-MUSIC model separately to locate the impact source. Experimental data collected from a cross-ply glass fiber reinforced composite plate are used to validate the proposed approach. The results show that the use of optimized EEMD and 2D-MUSIC is suitable for real-time impact localization of composite structures.
