Abstract
Huge amounts of data can be generated during long-term monitoring performed by structural health monitoring (SHM) and structural integrity management applications. Monitoring data can be corrupted, and the presence of abnormal data can distort information during signal processing, extract incorrect characteristics during system identification, produce false conclusions during damage detection, and ultimately lead to misjudgment of structural conditions during diagnosis and prognosis. Therefore, developing effective techniques to autonomously detect and classify anomalies becomes necessary and significant. Generally, conventional physics-based strategies can be straightforward, but their performance highly depends on prior knowledge of measurement. Recently, data-driven methods leveraging machine learning (ML) have been used to directly handle the task. This study proposes an ML-based classifier and improves it by incorporating the human-in-the-loop (HITL) learning. The classifier is built on a shallow neural network with high performance to address potential online or real-time applications for long-term monitoring. First, a field monitoring dataset is introduced, and various anomalies are defined to investigate the effectiveness. To further enhance the performance of the proposed classifier, the mislabels in the monitoring dataset are examined, and a correction technique is performed. Additionally, HITL ML is developed to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional correction technique. As a result, the proposed procedure can improve both the classifier and the field dataset, and the proposed classifier can now function as a fundamental component in achieving a continuous and autonomous SHM system.
