Abstract
The present study utilizes a state-of-the-art stochastic modeling with structural health monitoring (SHM) data derived from strain measurements, in order to assess the remaining useful life (RUL) online in composite materials under fatigue loading. Non-Homogenous Hidden Semi Markov model (NHHSMM) is a suitable candidate with a rich mathematical structure capable of describing the composite’s multi-state damage evolution in time. The proposed model uses as input SHM data in the form of strain measurements obtained from the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique to a coupon-level constant amplitude fatigue test campaign. The obtained from the stochastic model RUL estimations are compared with the actual RUL and the effectiveness of the prognosis is discussed.
