description The vibrational behavior of composite structures has been demonstrated as a useful feature for identifying debonding damage. The precision of the damage localization can be greatly improved by the addition of more measuring points. Therefore, full-field vibration measurements, such as those obtained using high-speed digital image correlation (DIC) techniques, are particularly useful. In this study, deep learning techniques, which have demonstrated excellent performance in image classification and segmentation, are incorporated into a novel approach for assessing damage in composite structures. This article presents a damage-assessment algorithm for composite sandwich structures that uses full-field vibration mode shapes and deep learning. First, the vibration mode shapes are identified using high-speed 3D DIC measurements. Then, Gaussian process regression is implemented to estimate the mode shape curvatures, and a baseline-free gapped smoothing method is applied to compute the damage images. The damage indices, which are represented as grayscale images, are processed using a convolutional-neural-network-based algorithm to automatically identify damaged regions. The proposed methodology is validated using numerical and experimental data from a composite sandwich panel with different damage configurations.
