• Abstract: Machine learning models trained with structural health monitoring data have become a powerful tool for system identification. This paper presents a physics-informed Gaussian process (GP) model for Timoshenko beam elements. The model is constructed as a multi-output GP with covariance and cross-covariance kernels analytically derived based on the differential equations for deflections, rotations, strains, bending moments, shear forces and applied loads. Stiffness identification is performed in a Bayesian format by maximising a posterior model through a Markov chain Monte Carlo method, yielding a stochastic model for the structural parameters. The optimised GP model is further employed for probabilistic predictions of unobserved responses. Additionally, an entropy-based method for physics-informed sensor placement optimisation is presented, exploiting heterogeneous sensor position information and structural boundary conditions built into the GP model. Results demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective at identifying structural parameters and is capable of fusing data from heterogeneous and multi-fidelity sensors. Probabilistic predictions of structural responses and internal forces are in closer agreement with measured data. We validate our model with an experimental setup and discuss the quality and uncertainty of the obtained results. The proposed approach has potential applications in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) for both mechanical and structural systems.

  We propose an inference methodology for classical Kirchhoff-Love plates via physics-informed Gaussian Processes (GP) A probabilistic model is formulated as a multi-output GP by placing a GP prior on the deflection and deriving the covariance function using the linear differential operators of the plate governing equations. We demonstrate the applicability with two examples: a supported plate subjected to a sinusoidal load and a fixed plate subjected to a uniform load.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
