Autonomous damage recognition in visual inspection of laminated composite structures using deep learning (2021)
Journal Article
Fotouhi, S., Pashmforoush, F., Bodaghi, M., & Fotouhi, M. (2021). Autonomous damage recognition in visual inspection of laminated composite structures using deep learning. Composite Structures, 268, Article 113960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.113960

This study proposes the exploitation of deep learning for quantitative assessment of visual detectability of different types of in-service damage in laminated composite structures such as aircraft and wind turbine blades. A comprehensive image-based... Read More about Autonomous damage recognition in visual inspection of laminated composite structures using deep learning.

Achieving robust acoustic emission-based damage characterization of scaled laminated composites under indentation (2021)
Journal Article
Fotouhi, S., Khoshravan Azar, M. R., & Fotouhi, M. (2021). Achieving robust acoustic emission-based damage characterization of scaled laminated composites under indentation. e-polymers, 15(9), 839-852. https://doi.org/10.3144/expresspolymlett.2021.67

This paper presents a novel investigation on the robustness of Acoustic Emission (AE) technique on the characterization of indentation-induced Damage Mechanisms (DMs) in scaled laminated composites. AE is used to monitor a comprehensive series of sca... Read More about Achieving robust acoustic emission-based damage characterization of scaled laminated composites under indentation.
