• Abstract summary: This chapter introduces the concept of physics-informed machine learning, where one adapts ML algorithms to account for the physical insight an engineer will often have of the structure they are attempting to model or assess. The chapter will demonstrate how grey-box models, that combine simple physics-based models with data-driven ones, can improve predictive capability in an SHM setting. A range of SHM applications will be demonstrated, from loads monitoring tasks for off-shore and aerospace structures, through to performance monitoring for long-span bridges.

• Abstract: The use of machine learning in Structural Health Monitoring is becoming more common, as many of the inherent tasks (such as regression and classification) in developing condition-based assessment fall naturally into its remit. This chapter introduces the concept of physics-informed machine learning, where one adapts ML algorithms to account for the physical insight an engineer will often have of the structure they are attempting to model or assess. The chapter will demonstrate how grey-box models, that combine simple physics-based models with data-driven ones, can improve predictive capability in an SHM setting. A particular strength of the approach demonstrated here is the capacity of the models to generalise, with enhanced predictive capability in different regimes. This is a key issue when life-time assessment is a requirement, or when monitoring data do not span the operational conditions a structure will undergo. The chapter will provide an overview of physics-informed ML, introducing a number of new approaches for grey-box modelling in a Bayesian setting. The main ML tool discussed will be Gaussian process regression, we will demonstrate how physical assumptions/models can be incorporated through constraints, through the mean function and kernel design, and finally in a state-space setting. A range of SHM applications will be demonstrated, from loads monitoring tasks for off-shore and aerospace structures, through to performance monitoring for long-span bridges.

Basically, real data points (or specific points of interest) are used and the changes of the prediction after slightly raising or decreasing specific features are observed.
