BRIEF OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH PROJECT AND MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS EXPECTED (half

page should be sufficient):

The research project titled SafeCom aims to develop a novel, efficient, and robust online Structural
Health Monitoring (SHM) system based on Deep Learning for composite industrial structures subjected
to extreme and varying environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. The
key objective is to advance current damage detection methods, particularly delamination assessment,
by leveraging Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGWs) and a mesh-free computational approach to overcome
limitations in Finite Element Methods (FEM).

Major Accomplishments Expected:

1. Development of a Robust Delamination Model: An efficient model will be created to simulate


delamination in composite structures subjected to environmental extremes. This model will
enable accurate prediction of damage behavior under real-world conditions.

2. Numerical Simulation of Wave-Damage Interaction: Using advanced computational methods,


the project will model how UGWs interact with delamination damage in various operational
environments. This will enable early detection of structural weaknesses without requiring
operational downtime.

3. Deep Learning-Based Inverse Algorithm: A Deep Learning algorithm will be trained using the
UGW responses to accurately quantify delamination damage (size, location, and interface) in
real-time, offering industries a powerful tool for online structural health monitoring.

4. Experimental Validation: Six composite structures will be manufactured, and the numerical
models will be validated through experiments, ensuring industrial relevance and applicability.

Overall, SafeCom seeks to revolutionize the SHM field by delivering a cost-effective, fast, and reliable
monitoring system that enhances the safety, efficiency, and longevity of composite structures in
industries like aerospace, wind energy, and transportation.

LONG-TERM CAREER OBJECTIVES (over 5 years):

1. Goals:

• Establish as an independent and internationally recognized researcher in the field of Deep


Learning-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) using Ultrasonic Guided Waves
(UGWs) under extreme environmental conditions.

• Secure a senior academic position (e.g., Assistant Professor) by building a strong academic
record and engaging in interdisciplinary research.

• Collaborate with industry to apply SHM tools developed during the project to real-world
applications, enhancing the safety and efficiency of composite structures in transportation
and energy sectors.
• Contribute to the commercialization of the developed technologies through Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR) and potential spin-off projects.
• Lead research on damage propagation rate estimation and predictive maintenance using
SHM technologies.
• Mentor future researchers and develop leadership skills by supervising PhD students and
