A variety of non-destructive inspection methods has been employed to detect the presence and severity of the damage. In this research, machine learning (ML) algorithms are used to assess the dynamic response of the system. It can predict the damage severity, damage location, and fundamental behaviour of the system. Fatigue damage data of aluminium and ABS under coupled mechanical loads at different temperatures are used to train the model. The model shows that natural frequency and temperature appear to be the most important predictive features for aluminium. It appears to be dominated by natural frequency and tip amplitude for ABS. The results also show that the position of the crack along the specimen appears to be of little importance for either material, allowing simultaneous prediction of location and damage severityenAttribution 4.0 Internationaldamage detectionfatigue crack growththermomechanical fatiguemachine learningArticle
