• Abstract: The occurrence of manufacturing defects in wind turbine blade (WTB) production can result in significant increases in operation and maintenance costs and lead to severe and disastrous consequences. Therefore, inspection during the manufacturing process is crucial to ensure consistent fabrication of composite materials. Non-contact sensing techniques, such as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar, are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a full view of these complex structures during curing. In this paper, we enhance the quality assurance of manufacturing utilizing FMCW radar as a non-destructive sensing modality. Additionally, a novel anomaly detection pipeline is developed that offers the following advantages: (1) We use the analytic representation of the Intermediate Frequency signal of the FMCW radar as a feature to disentangle material-specific and round-trip delay information from the received wave. (2) We propose a novel anomaly detection methodology called focus Support Vector Data Description (focus-SVDD). This methodology involves defining the limit boundaries of the dataset after removing healthy data features, thereby focusing on the attributes of anomalies. (3) The proposed method employs a complex-valued autoencoder to remove healthy features and we introduces a new activation function called Exponential Amplitude Decay (EAD). EAD takes advantage of the Rayleigh distribution, which characterizes an instantaneous amplitude signal. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through its application to collected data, where it shows superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art unsupervised anomaly detection methods. This method is expected to make a significant contribution not only to structural health monitoring but also to the field of deep complex-valued data processing and SVDD application.

  This paper proposes the Temporal Denoise Convolutional Neural Network With Attention (TDANet) to improve fault diagnosis performance in noise environments. The TDANet model transforms one-dimensional signals into two-dimensional tensors based on their periodic properties, employing multi-scale 2D convolution kernels to extract signal information both within and across periods. Evaluation on two datasets, CWRU (single sensor) and Real aircraft sensor fault (multiple sensors), demonstrates that the TDANet model significantly outperforms existing deep learning approaches in terms of diagnostic accuracy under noisy environments.
