• Abstract summary: A generative model is proposed in order to make predictions about the damage evolution of structures. The model is able to take into account many past states of the damaged structure, to incorporate uncertainties in the modelling process and to generate potential damage evolution outcomes. The algorithm is tested on a simulated damage evolution example and the results reveal that it is able to provide quite confident predictions about the remaining useful life of structures within a population.

• Abstract: A major problem of structural health monitoring (SHM) has been the prognosis of damage and the definition of the remaining useful life of a structure. Both tasks depend on many parameters, many of which are often uncertain. Many models have been developed for the aforementioned tasks but they have been either deterministic or stochastic with the ability to take into account only a restricted amount of past states of the structure. In the current work, a generative model is proposed in order to make predictions about the damage evolution of structures. The model is able to perform in a population-based SHM (PBSHM) framework, to take into account many past states of the damaged structure, to incorporate uncertainties in the modelling process and to generate potential damage evolution outcomes according to data acquired from a structure. The algorithm is tested on a simulated damage evolution example and the results reveal that it is able to provide quite confident predictions about the remaining useful life of structures within a population.

• Towards an active-learning approach to resource allocation for population-based damage prognosis [0.0]
  Damage prognosis is arguably one of the most difficult tasks of structural health monitoring (SHM) To address common problems of damage prognosis, a population-based SHM approach is adopted in the current work. The prognosis problem is considered as an information-sharing problem where data from past structures are exploited to make more accurate inferences regarding currently-degrading structures.

In this study, a variant of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Cycle-Consistent Wasserstein Deep Convolutional GAN with Gradient Penalty (CycleWDCGAN-GP) model is used. The outcomes of this study demonstrate that the proposed model can accurately generate the possible future responses of a structure for potential future damaged conditions.

  An object called structural causal model (SCM) represents a collection of mechanisms and sources of random variation of the system under investigation. In this paper, we show that the causal hierarchy theorem (Thm. 1, Bareinboim et al., 2020) still holds for neural models. We introduce a special type of SCM called a neural causal model (NCM), and formalize a new type of inductive bias to encode structural constraints necessary for performing causal inferences.
