Abstract

The discrete-time system of multilayer composite plate is modeled using neural network (NN) to produce a nonlinear exogenous autoregressive moving-average model (NARMAX). The model is implemented by training a NN with input-output experimental data. Each damaged sample can be modeled by a parameter governed by the propagation behaviors of the NN. A residual signal is evaluated from the difference between the output of the model and that of the real system. A threshold function is used to detect the damaged behavior of the system. The results show that a three-layer neural network can be a general type of and suitable for the nonlinear input-output mapping problems of multilayer composite system.
